We usually encourage our readers to buy books from local, non-chain sources, but there's no denying that there are some excellent book deals to be found online today:

Amazon.com has a Black Friday Store. A little hunting will turn up some lovely gift ideas. We were particularly impressed by their $15.83 copy of the sixtieth-anniversary edition of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince.

Barnes and Noble.com is offering "up to 40% off" deals on their Holiday Gift Catalog. Check out their Naruto Box Set--the entire 27-volume-long first story arc, currently on sale for $132.96.

Chapters.com is offering up to 50% percent off its holiday titles. (Unfortunately, the dollar is too weak now for us to take advantage of it, but we hope our Canadian friends are enjoying themselves.) They're offering Stephanie Meyer's Twilight Collection (which includes "three hardcover books, two full-color posters and exclusive tattoos") for a mere $42.24.
