They encourage ordering by phone to confirm availability and reserve
an item.  I am not affiliated in any way to them, but they have a
good reputation, and I am very happy with a couple of (sundial) books
I ordered from them before.  Very knowledgeable people.

(The entire catalog is at http://www.duke.edu/~tj/gem_top.html for
those generally interested.  Click on Catalog XV, Fall 1995.)
