the bookstore was founded in 2003 by twin brothers paul & daniel, the first 3 years were run parallel to a successful start-up business in the uk, the profits were then reinvested into the truly unrivalled selection that is housed in the heart of prenzlauer berg. the largest selection of new & used english language books in berlin and possibly in germany.

a large selection of books can be ordered before 5pm in the evening and arrive the next day, otherwise we have roughly 5 shipments a week from the us and the uk. depending on the day, delivery is usually between 2-5 days. just ask and we'll let you know.

we endeavour to remain a used bookstore with regular hand-picked, second-hand shipments from the uk. we purchase our own used books back from customers at half price for store credit, we do also buy books for credit(+) or cash(-).

extras; wireless lan, gift certificates, we accept ec/visa/mastercard, payments can be made in us dollars, pounds sterling and aussie dollars. we ship within germany for €0.85 (>500g) - €1.40 (>1000g). we also ship outside of germany.

we specialize in english language books first and foremost, but we then concentrate on certain categories such as philosophy, theory, fiction and german history. something for everyone, we have a blooming poetry section which includes the obvious runners; pound, ginsberg, bukowski, creeley, plath & hughes to the less obvious; mandelstam, corso, mayakovsky, walcott...
