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/
http://bookvistas.com/
http://www.southasiabooks.com/

http://www.krishna.com/
(ISKCON books)
