Waterstones used to use Amazon to sell books (presumably they couldn't make any money any other way). Not sure if they still do.
http://www.abebooks.co.uk/ http://www.abebooks.co.uk/ is pretty good, particularly for difficult to find and second hand books. I've found more and more recently that play.com does almost as well as (and often better than) Amazon in terms of price, although I don't know much about their business tactics.
