[WEB4LIB] Re: Looking for a specific kind of site

[Jennifer Geard]

Don't forget Amazon.com, which is good for bibliographic checking (supports
fuzzy searching, includes published reviews as well as reader responses) and
has tools I've used for reader advisory work (award shortlists for genre
fiction, "Customers who bought x also bought...").

Regards,

Well, what about Contentville? They are about as commercial 
as you can get, but still allow free access to citation level 
information.
