Bookstore catalogs

Many people have discovered that online bookstores such as Amazon.com at (http //www.amazon.com) and Barnesandnoble.com (http //www. barnesandnoble.com) are convenient ways to shop for books. A less-known benefit of online bookstore catalogs is that they often include publisher s information, book reviews, and reader s comments about a given title. They can thus serve as a form of annotated bibliography. 

Bookstore catalogs not only allow for searches of books currendy in print on any variety of topics but also have another advantage. They often include summaries and reader reviews of books that can help determine their relevance and value. In some cases, one can browse through an electronic version of parts of a book. At the same time, bookstore catalogs will not have as many books, compared with libraries, that are out of print but still valuable. Overall, electronic bookstores such as Amazon.com (URL http //www.amazon. com) and Barnes Noble (URL http //www.barnesandnoble.com) are good bibliographic resources.
