Amazon and ebay are good. Amazon in particular sources from Yellow Mountain imports but it's a limited range in the uk.
In Europe with a three day turnaround, the best/ most complete seems to be in Hamburg

http://www.pentangle-puzzles.co.uk/where you get a 10% discount if you're a member of BGA, see:
http://www.britgo.org/books/index.htmlAlso:
http://www.thetradingcentre.co.uk/For the latest books, the site I always go to is Het Paard:
http://www.schaakengo.nl/www_schaakengo2/go.htmlnot in the UK but quick to deliver and often cheaper than ordering from one of the other two websites (who don't keep their book lists up to date like Het Paard do).
Amazon - don't buy books from them often, unless you have compared them to the other sites, they can often be far too expensive, e.g.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Attack-Defense-Elementary-Go-Vol/dp/4906574149/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1322111334&sr=8-8 . Amazon is a good place to get cheap second hand copies sometimes though. Like BobC says Yellow Mountain imports have started selling some of their range through Amazon UK
http://www.amazon.co.uk/s?ie=UTF8&search-type=ss&index=toys-uk&field-keywords=Yellow%20Mountain%20Importsoh and if you're checking out ebay, there is a Go category (but a bit hard to find):

In my experience ebay is best as a source of out of print books and antique Go boards. For example, the only (paper) copy of "Killer of Go" I know of currently available on the internet is on ebay.com
