NatYoung17 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 HI, I just found this great website and just wanted to share : http://www.globalbooks.de/ Their prices are about the same as Amazon.de, but they offer free shipping to the US on orders over 55 Euro!! They are based in Berlin, Germany. Also, if you register you can keep books in your shopping basket until you're ready to order or change your mind, which is nice since they don't have a "wishlist" like Amazon... :thumbup1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Oh wow!! Bookmarked it! :hurray: Thanks for posting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4KookieKids Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 We have also made good use of bookdepository.com, as well. It's not based in Germany, but it has quite a few German books. The caveats are that they are often older books (not used, just books that came out a while ago) and that shipping takes a long time (up to 2 weeks). The up-side is that prices are usually cheaper than amazon.de (once you factor in an exchange rate), and there's no minimum purchase for the free shipping, so you can just get a book here and a book there without having to break the bank in one order. :D It's also a good site for non-german books, because it has books in a variety of languages, and they ship free worldwide. I hope it's ok to bring back up such an old thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4KookieKids Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Yeah! It's interesting to read old threads! Though I'm generally hesitant to respond to them because I'm afraid it's already been covered and I just missed it in all the other threads. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4KookieKids Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 On a related note, I'm looking for recommendations on favorite German children's books (primarily in the 3-5 year category). So far, most of my son's German books were only translated into German (with the exception of his Wieso? Weshalb? Warum? and Was ist Was books). What are your favorites?

pmeilaen Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 For children under seven, we love all the books posted here and own almost all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
