As we have discussed web sites a couple of times lately I thought I might say that http://www.buchhandel.de/ is something to aspire to. No bullshit, the bare graphical content is actually useful, navigation is fast and contact is easy to find. It's a database of all German-language books in print (i.e. complete), with option to order from any of the ten zillion book shops, and with cover image of by the looks of it every item. Uses javascript for ordering - fair enough, otherwise works fine without cookies or scripting. And the top-level menu is text-only - guess what - it still doesn't look any worse! A very pleasant difference from the usual Frontpage crap by designers who think they need to show off their ....^H^H^H^Hego instead of producing something useful. 10 out of 10 from me.
My 0.02 $CURRENCY Volker PS I still wish there was a books-in-print database for NZ... (the pigs have hit the ground hard, and it never was a books-in-print anyway)
