This online and catalog store has lots of great items for babies and toddlers,
especially baby-proofing tools.
This site is now affiliated with Toys R Us and Babies R US, which makes
it a good source for toys. They have useful customer reviews of products
too.
Search Engines
I've recently started using this search engine and had better luck with
it than with some others.
DVDs
You can rent DVDs from this site and they will be mailed to you.
You can keep them as long as you want, and then mail them back in a postage-paid
envelope. It is the best way to rent DVDs that we have found.
This is a good site for price compares when shopping for DVDs online, and
also a good resource for upcoming releases information.
Books
One of Rod's favorite authors, Vachss writes hardboiled crime fiction dealing
often with child abuse.
One of Adele's favorite authors, Anne Bishop writes dark fantasy.
Yes, it's a cliche, but I still like this online bookstore. They
let the customers create lists of favorite books. If you search on
a book that appears in a list, the site provides a link to the list, which
can sometimes be a source of recommendations for other books.
Comic Books
Rod buys all his new comics at Collector's Corner. Great discounts
and great service.
Rod checks the Comicon.com Splash and Newsarama pages
daily to keep up on the latest happenings in the world of comics.
The site has tons of other goodies to boot.
Rod checks this every Sunday for the tastiest tidbits of unsubstantiated
comic book gossip.
Tons of information about specific comic books.
Rod always intends to join this comics industry equivalent of the ACLU
someday. Help defend free speech!
