Doubleday
This is part of Random House, but worth listing separately. Off the main navigation on this page there is a link to the Nan A. Talese imprint, which has some excellent titles.

Knopf
I like this site. I like the right-hand navigation with things like "More by this Author." I also like the fact that they frequently post excerpts from their books.

Princeton Architectural Press
Don't be fooled! This is not just architecture, but a range of non-fiction titles which hover around and near design, but also border the sociological realm, as well.
