The birth of the internet heralded several theories about the demise of the book and of reading in general. Contrary to this, books are thriving on the internet and the author recommends the best websites to cut your searching time. This guide includes information on: the best internet bookshops, both small and large; rare and specialist bookshops; book clubs; literary magazines; reading group resources; author and fan websites and publisher's own websites; websites for budding writers to develop their own talents.

The Good Web Guide has built up a reputation for providing unbiased, well-researched recommendations for the very best websites you need for the subjects you are interested in. Now the time has come for a complete guide which covers some of the areas of the individual books and some new areas. This book has been compiled with the same attention to detail, the same standards of editing and design, and the same readers' needs in mind.
