I love art books, but unfortunately you can't by 'em online. Why you ask? Because when choosing an art book, you want to spend some time with it, flipping around and enjoying all the pretty pitchers before you drop all that hard-earned scratch; and alas this is not an option on Amazon or Barnes & Noble. (Amazon provides page views via the Look Inside feature, but it's very limited)
Looky Book is a great new site devoted to children's books. The site allows users to virtually "flip" through the pages of each volume, and it provides a surprisingly satisfying experience. I'd love to see this functionality blown out to fine art books, comics,and graphic novels. Via Drawn
