- Wordery. Like Book Depository, this is a U.K.- based online bookstore with supposedly free global shipping. Alas, by “global,” they truly mean “fewer than 40 countries.”
- Waterstones. I didn’t set out to include primarily U.K.- based bookshops, but best laid plans, right? Waterstones, and its academic and specialized cousin Blackwell’s, have huge selections, and they truly do ship almost worldwide.
- Better World Books. Better World Books really seems to live up to the hype, and it has a decent chance of becoming my new online bookstore of choice. Based in the United States, it ships to a great deal of countries at either $1.49 for orders under $15, or free for orders over $15.
- World of Books. If you love second hand books as much as I do, keep an eye on World of Books or, as its logo proclaims, Wob. It doesn’t ship worldwide, but it does offer affordable shipping to a decent number of countries, plus free shipping within the U.K., and it has a nice selection of over seven million books.
- BLACKWELL'S. Book Depository has over 20 million books, and the British behemoth that is Blackwell's comes pretty close with 18 million books in its inventory.
- WORDERY. Wordery, also based in the UK, was founded by a group of friends who work with national charities and a local primary school to improve youth literacy.
- BETTER WORLD BOOKS. Students selling old textbooks on the Internet are dime a dozen, but two college graduates in the US have wound up selling over 8 million new and used books today.
- WORLD OF BOOKS. Those who are iffy about purchasing a brand-new paperback will feel right at home at World of Books, a second-hand book retailer in the UK.
