Book Store of the Year
BookCloseOuts
Book Closeouts has unbelievable prices on books, as much as 90% off. They don't have the selection you'd find from larger booksellers, but they have a lot more than most used bookstores or book clearance centers. Book Close Outs also offers some excellent services for those looking for a specific book or genre. BookCloseOuts offers a book club, a section where you can list books you want and be notified when Book Closeouts has them, a hand-autographed books section, and an excellent email catalog you can sign up to receive. Their prices are generally far better than you get from even used book stores, used book brokers, and used book auctions.

Music Store of the Year
Musician's Friend
When it comes to music gear, Musician's Friend has been #1 on my recommendation list since 2000. Musician's Friend carries a full range of music accessories for guitar, percussion, keyboard, recording, band, karaoke, orchestra, and much more. Musician's Friend also carries books, sheet music, and videos.

Video Store of the Year
Barnes & Noble
Barnes & Noble, though best known as a book store, carries a wide selection of other DVDs. Barnes & Noble has long had a very fine reputation as a large, traditional retail book chain. Barnes & Noble has an even better reputation as an online retailer. Barnes & Noble combines fair shipping rates with a wide variety of delivery methods. It is often much cheaper, even after shipping, to order DVDs from Barnes & Noble online, rather than to go to retail stores. Barnes & Noble carries books, music, videos, audio books, ebooks, textbooks, dvds, and used or out-of-print books. Barnes & Noble carries a huge selection of DVDs.
