Ryan's Tribute to Capitalism

Like any non-virtual community, the Web (and the Internet in most of its interactive manifestations) has its own etiquette, its own set of social mores and taboos. Thus, as in "Real Life", success as a virtual shopkeeper will ultimately depend to a great extent on how polite and helpful Net Image one presents. To that end, aspiring and current Internet Entrepreneurs would do well to spend some time reading Establishing a Net Presence, a great presentation by Tenagra Corporation (no affiliation to me, btw).

Time spent there can help keep you off the Blacklist of Internet Advertisers.

Book Sellers

Book Stacks Unlimited -- the largest and still the best that I've found, and now sports a new Web interface.

Another good Webbookstore is The Internet Bookstore

The proprietors of the Antiquarian / Secondhand Bookseller's WWW Site specialise in scholarly books on the humanities, especially English History, Literature and Biography; Scottish History, Literature & Philosophy, with special interest in books by and about the Victorian period.

The Bookmine specializes in top quality copies of books in Western Americana, history of science and medicine, illustrated books, especially childrens, railroading, travel and exploration, 19th century literature, and modern firsts.

Online Book Store

Kaiser Books and Computers -- Links to Used Book Stores, Stuff for sale, etc.

Future Fantasy of Palo Alto has a nice selection of mysteries, as well as a very nice database searching system and order form.

The Internet Book Shop claims to be the "biggest on-line book shop in the world." They may also be the hardest to reach.

Atomic Books is definitely different, and definitively demented. Lots of can't-find-it-anywhere-else books. But don't say you weren't warned.
Editions Didier Millet, a small publisher and packager of fine illustrated non-fiction announces its new Web presence at http://www.ncb.gov.sg/EDM/. We are a niche publisher, and that means we hope to use the Web to reach customers scattered around the world.

Miscellaneous

The Sharper Image was a little slow getting there for a "cutting-edge" company like them, but they're finally on-line.

Netdiamonds is a very well-done site, thought unfortunately, I can't really speak for their jewelry, since I've never bought any from them. :)

Real Estate

Newman-Dailey Resort Properties is a little property management company near the most beautiful beach on Earth, Destin!

Abbott Resorts is the largest property management company in the Destin area. I've used them many times, and recommend their properties, though they're continuing to move upscale with their houses (which mean up-price as well), and their success has perhaps slightly tarnished their commitment to customer service.

The HomeOwners Finance Center is perhaps the most comprehensive mortgage site on the web.
