    What bookstore do posters rate as the best? In terms of range of books? price of books? and speed/cost of delivery?

    I've bought plenty of books from Amazon resellers.

    Much cheaper than Amazon itself, and you can nearly always buy new.

    Yep, I've bought quite a few from the Book Repository, and always found them good. Ebay can be good for rarer books too.

    I found the book depository great also, fast enough delivery and free postage. I've never tried Amazon.

    I use Amazon (mainly co.uk but sometimes .com), and always look for the marketplace sellers, who give great value and are very reliable if you look for someone with the best feedback you can get.

    I also use www.bookcloseouts.com, which has a great selection at very reasonable prices - even the extra postage doesn't make them too expensive, and the dollar/euro is good at the moment.

    I also use Play, who don't charge postage, but they don't seem to have marketplace sellers. Still, you will occasionally get something from them that someone else doesn't have.
