Technical Bookshops on Computer Science

Today I want to write a post about technical bookshops (both physical and online) and book sites on the web.

Despite everyone knows about Amazon as a very good bookshop and source of information about computer science books, there is another online bookshop that looks very interesting:
With regard online free technical books, FreeTechBooks.com is a very good option.

Moreover, I like to touch the physical books (I like their format and appearance), so from time to time I use to visit (some of the few) physical libraries in Madrid. These are the ones I like to go:
  • Cocodrilo Libros (Madrid): This is my favorite bookshop. They have a good and extensive catalogue of technical books in english in their bookshop and, the most important thing, they offer you a very good personal treatment.
  • Librería Diaz de Santos (Madrid): They also have a good catalogue of english books, but it is not close to the city center.
  • Casa del Libro (Madrid): They used to have books in english but since three years ago, they just have books in spanish.
  • FNAC (Madrid): Just books in spanish, mainly for beginners.
Can you recomend any other library/resource you known in your town or in the web?
