Book Information
Many times, we want to find out the 411 (a.k.a. the current information for those of you who don't know cop lingo) before we buy something.  These sites have reviews, information on dealers, and lots of useful knowledge to help you make the most informed decision on your next purchase.     
1. Bookwire -  Probably the best site on the web for finding out any and all information regarding books.  They also offer publicity opportunities so authors can keep track of their reviews and update their own bios as needed.  They also offer a bestseller list review, avenues for getting jobs in the industry, and much much more!
2. Booklist - Not a long list and it doesn't necessarily cater to everyone, but it does give great reviews on the titles that are featured.  
3. Bookdata - This is a UK based company serving colleges, libraries, booksellers, etc. In essence, they provide data on millions of books for these type of organizations to reference.  So if you're an upstart bookseller and need a database, contact Bookdata. 

Other Notable Stores 

  Barnes and Noble - Generally, the book reviews are associated with the titles themselves, but you can browse what other people have thought about books you're interested in.
  Amazon - From editors reviews to your fellow man's, read all of the great information that Amazon has concerning Books.
