I still get paper catalogues from the Hampstead House remaindered bookstore near Toronto. I haven't bought much from them in the last while--there just wasn't much that we could use or didn't already have. But they are still a good source of books for resourceful homeschoolers, especially if you shop online and don't have to take the chance that they've run out of whatever you're ordering.
Here are some current examples from their website, but as always, they can quickly change. And as always, no guarantees on anything--in many cases, I'm just going by their product descriptions, and what sounds great might turn out to be not exactly what you expected. In most cases, we've been happy with the books and kits we've ordered for ourselves.
