French books

Post Reply New Topic

Could anybody recommend some good sites for buying books in French besides Amazon.fr? I'm looking for something and can't seem to find it for anything less then 60 € and I'd like to see if I have other options first...

Try here:

http://www.addall.com/

It will search over a dozen online booksellers and give you back a listing, ordered by price from lowest to highest. It also calculates and adds in the shipping *before* it tells you the price so you can know whether that $1 book is really cheaper than that $2 book or whether it's more expensive because of more shipping.

It might not search the bookstores where your book is, but I've gotten Spanish-langauge books through addall so there is a chance.

Hope this is helpful!

Ebay's also pretty good- I got Un sac de billes and L'etranger from there. What books are you reading?

I have hundred of books to sell, most of them novels.
But I don't know if the cost of the shipping would be worth the effort to send them overseas.

Ah! You're in Europe too, I didn't look before I posted.

Sparrowrose - Thank you for the link - they didn't have it but the site will be very useful for other future searches!

Bubbles137 He he, amazon and ebay were the first places I've checked. I also tried Allibris, AbeBooks, The Book Depository and a few others.

zena4 - It's not a novel, that's probably why it's so expensive (Léon Chestov-Sur les confins de la vie. Apothéose du dépaysement) - I've already read the book and wanted to check some things in the original version, but I'm hesitant to pay so much money for a second copy of a book I already have.

Ah ok. No worry. I didn't know you were searching a particular book.
