Amazon, Barnes and Noble and maybe Yahoo Shopping? In about a week I'll get one of those personalized Diamond Financial Products pre-financed Mastercards. It's not a credit card; it's like a gameworks card with money.

With that in mind, I can't wait to buy stuff online. My first priority however is books. Although I'm mainly looking for drawing education books (in case you know any specific E-Retailers), this can spread all around. I'm in college now, and book prices aren't fucking around. One of my books costs 106.75, but is half that price used at Amazon. Damn... I wish I knew about this a week ago...

Anyway, just telling me that the "big dogs" at the top of the thread are trustworthy and stuff would be appreciated, but if there are any good retailers I need to know about I would be really thankful.

depends, www.designstudiopress.com , www.budplant.com , http://www.justbedesign.com/ are all excellent places for art books - but imo, if you do your research, most of the prices on amazon, barnes & nobles are actually alright for the most part, and for a few extra bucks, I'd be willing to spend it due to them needed to keep a reputation, B&N fucked up one of my orders the other day I emailed them and they fixed it quick smart and let me keep the other book for my troubles...although I have no fucking idea what to do with a book entitled "First Time Mothers" or something like that, so I fed it to my sister.
