INTERNET BOOKSTORE LIST (JULY 1995) Compiled by Steve Brock (brock@ucsub.Colorado.EDU) Here is a list of e-mail addresses and web sites of bookstores on the Internet who either buy or sell new and used books or perform book searches. When I posted this list in April, I was flooded with additions and changes. If you sent one to me and do not see it this month, I promise that I'll get to it (first, I need to finish and defend my master's thesis; my thesis advisor would very much like me to graduate this summer - he feels that I've been hanging around the university entirely too long and I should be getting on with my "career" as a political scientist). If there is an error in your entry, please let me know. Listing is not necessarily endorsement. Let me know if you have information on more stores to list. My sincere thanks go to those who have helped me so far. Feel free to distribute this list freely through cyberspace, but please do not distribute in a hardcopy format or publish in a hardcopy periodical without permission. Note: WWW home page addresses are case sensitive. Type them in exactly as listed. A caution: I do not advocate sending credit card info via the Internet.
