Helpful Bookseller links

[imagine.ink]

Per Stan's request, here is a repost of a 2018 thread I authored :

Quite a while ago (actually 12 years [now 15 years] ago, based on my notes , I started a list of helpful bookseller links. 

I recently pulled out my old notes and, not surprisingly, some of the sites no longer exist or they exist in a changed form, under different URLs.

I thought it might be helpful to booksellers to post some of these links and I'll add a few each day until I exhaust my limited resources.  

Feel free to add any bookselling-related links!  I just ask that you keep it concise and follow my format of specifying the type of link in one sentence and then posting the link directly under that. 

Here are my first few:
