Our goods are catalogued into categories and subcategories – making searching easy. For example, if you are looking for fairy tales, head to the Children's category, or go directly to the Fairy tales, myths and legends subcategory, where you are sure to find what you are looking for.

To search for books from one author or from one edition – in the product detail section, click on the author's name or the edition name to see all the titles we have in stock. You can also browse the index of authors.

selection according to the condition of goods

We often have multiple copies of one title, however, the condition (degree of wear) or appearance may vary. In this instance you can choose a book based on its condition, go to the product detail section under the book title and click on the drop-down box called Condition (the corresponding price and photos display for each variant).

We provide detailed descriptions of specific deficiencies and defects in all books, go to the Condition parameter to discover whether the selected book is missing a cover, has damage to the binding, has a library stamp etc.
