BOOK RELATED SITES OF THE MONTH:

International Book Collectors Association (IBCA) This site offer a wealth of information, links, and thoughtful guidance for the book collector, new or seasoned. The site is divided into four sections: to inform, to collect, to educate, and to preserve. Among these categories are literally hundreds of useful articles and links helpful to book lovers and collectors alike. For instance, there are special sections on mystery book collecting and children book collecting (among many others), guides to book search engines and book auction sites, and much, much more. If you love books and love to browse, stop by this site for a pleasant romp!.

The Whole Wired Word (TW3): A Soothing Cup for the Harried Reader A "highly opinionated," sprightly look at the world of books, literature, magazines, and intellect on the Internet. Sections include: Virtual INK, including The Thing Itself, reviews of on-line magazines, fiction, and miscellany on the Internet; Off The Rack, reviews of print magazines; Reel Politik, a commentary column by James Reel; New Voices, new fiction; Colettes List, a book review column; and more. Fun, easy loading, and easy reading. Enjoy!

BY THE WAY: You can order books and more directly from us (specific out of print, limited editions, and trade books, etc. published by us) securely at our on-line store Parnassus on the Net .

Selected Bookish Links: Book Collecting or Comic Collecting These links are to the LUST section of our site's Seven Deadly Sins page where a number of links to collecting resources are to be found.

The Internet Book Information Center (IBIC) This site, cited by Publishers Weekly as "The granddaddy of book-related sites on the Internet" was established in 1994 and styles itself as "A personal, selective, opinionated guide to books and to book-related resources on the Internet." The site includes book reviews, news about the book world on and off the Internet, a "Commonplace Book," with interesting passages from selected publications, letters, and more. There is a topic indexed IBIC Archive of articles that adds substantially to the usefulness of the site. In addition there is the IBIC Guide to Book-Related Resources on the Internet (AKA The World-Wide Web Virtual Library: Literature) offering many links to book related sites. These links are embedded in an interesting essay on the genesis and travels of books from author to reader.

The Internet Classics Archive If you aren't lucky enough to have Tony Curtis teach your children (and you) the classics, they're still all available on the net at the Internet Classics Archive. These are not classics as in "the state room scene" in A Night at the Opera, or even Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. These are classics as in Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, Virgil's Aeneid, and Agamemnon by Aeschylus. To show you how immensely hip this page is, the above titles are referred to as popular classical literature. This is a site with its cultural head squarely on its shoulders. This site has a searchable collection of approximately 400 classical Greek & Roman texts (in English translation) and a list of other classics and electronic text sources which is worth checking out in its own right!.

Pulpless.com This site offers on-line, downloadable books by such authors as Piers Anthony, Victor Koman, J. Neil Schuman, and an interview with Robert A. Heinlein. Selections tend toward science-fiction and alternate history and often explore libertarian social/political/economic perspectives.

On-Line Book Page This site offers a directory of over 5000 books available at no charge" for reading and/or downloading on the Internet, plus "pointers to significant directories and archives of on-line texts, Special Exhibits, and more..."

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Speaking of classics and Shakespeare. Here is all the Shakespeare that's fit to print, and then some. . . check out Pericles, Prince of Tyre and Timon of Athens. But, your love's labors won't be lost if they, or you, check out this site.

Other pages on this site for those of a bookish bent: Literary Page, Science Fiction Page, Mystery Page, Cook Books (on the Food and Libations Page), links to many on-line journals and magazines on our Magazine page, and interesting special interest, weirdness, and oddities on the Miscellany Page.
