Solid Book Lists

I love book lists, and am always on the hunt for lists that contain solid, wholesome, good, true, and beautiful books for children.  Here I've compiled a list of some of my favorite places to go around the web (in no particular order) in search of books for my kids, plus some good books about books.  This is, of course, not an exhaustive list.  If you have some gems, share!
