One great printed source:
FontBook. Nothing even comes close to its scope. Unfortunately it's sold out. You might be able to find a used copy, but most folks don't like to give them up. The good news is that an updated edition is in the works.http://www.fontshop.com/index.cf…
Three great online sources:
http://www.myfonts.com
http://www.veer.com
http://www.fontscape.comAnd a little plug for my place where we try to bring the newest stuff to light:

if i don't have anything specific in mind, i usually go one by one through suitcase and check them out. it's laborious but it works.

sometimes clients request them, or they see something they like for another brand and then go about saying something like "I want this". blah blah
