It just seems to me that these days whenever I am trying to research a book I end up at amazon.com or aazon.co.uk - the Australian bookstores just don't have their act together.
For example, I haven't found an Australian book website yet where once you have found a book by an author, you can click their name to get a list of other books by them.
There are plenty of websites that don't have the full range I would expect either. Not to mention the clunky look and feel to most of them.

So can anybody recommend a good one? Or will I forever be researching books on amazon then heading down to the local bookstore to buy/order them?

The Australian Online Bookstore http://www.bookworm.com.au/bookworm/

this site has a link next to the search results to see other books by the author.

The only thing i dont like about tue site is that there are no reccomendations on it, but we can get those here at sffworld http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/smile.gif

seems to be OK - when you look at a book it has a link at the bottom for other books by the same author, which is god enough for me. Now to compare prices...

I probably won't buy a book again from anywhere else now that I'm on to The Book Depository http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/. Pretty much guaranteed the lowest price and shipping is free worldwide. There's also a good Australian site called Booko http://www.booko.com.au/ that will do a search for the cheapest book, which inevitably ends up being the Book Depository anyway...
