I have been through the resource section a dozen times. I wish there was a place that sold all kinds of clarinet music like they have for flutes at fluteworld.com. Is there anything like that for us??? It would make things a lot simpler than going to 4-5 different sites and paying all that shipping......

Lynn- http://www.vandoren.com also now has an extremely large catalog of sheet music for clarinet.

I like to look in Anne Bell's clarinet links under retail. http://www.anne-bell.sneezy.org/

Fortunately, Malecki Music has a lot in their catalogue. In reality, they don't have all that much of it in house.
Luyben Music (in Kansas City) has a pretty extensive catalogue of clarinet music and, with few exceptions (at least in my experience with them), it all seems to be right there!

Another suggestion:
Southern Music in San Antonio. They have a couple of large sections dedicated to the clarinet. Their website only seems to catalog the music they publish. A trip to San Antonio and a shopping spree for clarinet music informed me that they had much more music for the clarinet by other publishers, including some hard to find material like the Mozart "Concerto Rondo" and some Finzi material published by Boosey & Hawkes.
Anyway, their phone number is (210) 226-8167
Thier web page can be found at <www.southernmusic.com>
Good luck and Happy Holidays!

To add to Larry's comment, Luyben has a web site at www.luybenmusic.com with a section completely devoted to clarinet music. It is a great resource for chamber music as it divides its pages into different instrumentations.

If anyone's in the Orange County, CA area (south of Los Angeles) be sure to check out the Sheet Music Shoppe next to South Coast Plaza (<www.sheetmusicshoppe.com>) as their stacks of clarinet material are superb (a relative of CSU Fullerton's professor of clarinet Hakan Rosengren works there, and thus the selections for clarinet are extensive).

Thanks for all the links! Luyben comes close, but none of them are really complete. I wish you could just click and order from Luyben but you have to cut and paste into emails to do it. They have no secure ordering site. :/
If y'all have never been to the fluteworld.com site, then go check it out. Someone ought to go start up clarinetworld.com or something. I'm serious. Outside of selling flutes and their accessories, they have the most extensive catalog of music I've seen - not just pedagogical, solos, etc. but ensembles - and it's all graded. You don't want to know how many editions of the Mozart flute concertos there are, LOL.....
The problem is that most of the sheet music sites are only good if you already know what you're looking for. Publishers and all that. And I like trying pieces I don't know - but if I don't know they're out there, then I need to be able to browse. Also, when you can't look through the music yourself, it really helps to have some kind of grading system, you know? Fluteworld's grading system is a bit different - their 2 is like a normal 3, their 3 is like a 4-5. Then again, maybe that is just the flute divas for ya.
If JWPepper wasn't so limited in their chamber music, it would be great.
