A friend of mine told me about this book store. Here's the URL: www.betterworldbooks.com/
They ship worldwide for $3.97. This is of interest to expats like myself looking for books in English.

I haven't tried it out yet, but will very soon. Just wanted to share this info with my colleagues. ▲ Collapse

| Thank you, Amy | Oct 3, 2009 |
Thank you so much for posting this. It looks like a great place for dealing with one of my two major addictions. (Old movies, music and TV shows now basically resolved by other means).

| That is fantastic! | Oct 3, 2009 |
Thank you for sharing this link. I've been looking for an easy and cost-saving way to get hold of - more, more, more! - English literature. No need to rely on the big A anymore.

| Free Shipping Worldwide | Oct 4, 2009 |
The Book Depository, an online bookstore in the UK ships books free worldwide.
Here's the link
www.thebookdepository.co.uk
The service is pretty good - I usually get my books within a week (and I live in NZ).

Actually, I can't find any FAQs on the site.

Click on "About us", then, on the left-hand side, click on FAQ.
Your screen should look like this one:

I made an Amazon order (to Amazon in Germany) very recently and compared the prices with those of TheBookDepository. The latter's prices are about 10% lower than those of Amazon in Germany for exactly the same books! Amazing. I would have saved nearly 20 euros in my last order. So another situation in which we keep buying at a place just because we are used to it. Thanks for the hint Kathrin! | | | |

| Free shipping to the US | Oct 16, 2009 |
They not only ship cheaply to the rest of the world, but free to the US, which is better than the US$25 minimum purchase to get free shipping from Amazon in the US. Thanks a lot for such a great link!
