  One reason I like this site so much is that they review books that not every other blog on the internet is reviewing. The reviews are also crisp, clear, and interesting. Some of the reviews are longer than I typically prefer, but since there are guest bloggers, there are also a variety of reviews. I also think it is a visually appealing site that keeps your eyes moving.

  Powell's is a Portland institution. Its website does it justice. Wednesday Polls of pure humor. Guest bloggers, rare books, textbooks and those not-so-easy to finds make this a site a treasure. Titles are easy to find and prices are competitive.
