Bookstores to Find Hinduism Books

[philosoraptor]

Pranams,

Since there is tremendous demand for reliable knowledge about Hinduism, and since finding books on this subject can be quite difficult, I thought it would be great if we could have a stickied thread in which we share information on bookstores in which Hinduism books could be found. I will reproduce here a partial list I have encountered during my web browsing. I would like to encourage members to offer up similar suggestions.

(excellent variety of translations, many revised versions of older publications)

http://www.vedamsbooks.com/

One quick warning about many of these Indian bookstores. Often times, the Hinduism books are not well advertised from the home page. You often have to navigate through several layers of categories before you get to the Hinduism books. Don't be discouraged by a home page that omits any reference to Hinduism - some of these places do have good variety of Hinduism books but you just have to navigate some to find it.
