Can you get specific books for me?

What state are the books in?
New books are marked as “new” in the condition column. These books are brand new and unread.
Our secondhand books – after clicking on the photo you can see a bigger version of it along with additional information about the book. Among these you will find “condition” with a rating from 1 to 5. Books rated 5/5 are almost as new, while books rated 4/5 are lightly used, books rated 3/5 are more heavily used (damaged spine or cover, underlined text etc.).

Do you sell only English books or also books in other languages?
Our main focus is a quality selection of English books, however, we also have a small selection of titles in German in our offer.
