Tonight I decided I needed to read something comforting. So I'm rereading The Last Unicorn. OMG it's good.

@mrcompletely @joyce @neilhimself Now, that would be a list I’d love to see (hint hint).

Does anyone know a good place to consistently buy foreign language books in the US? I’m willing to pay up to double sticker price.

Specifically looking for children’s books in German and literature/contemporary novels and books in German, Russian, and French.

Please don’t suggest Amazon, as it’s hardly a reliable source.

@neilm @bookstodon Well, it’s not in the US, but blackwells.co.uk has fantastic (albeit slow) service to the US. I order German books all the time from them.

While I often use the local indie , I also am often in remoter places with no bookshop (sob) So I am interested in online book sellers.
Who among the booklovers uses new-to-me Tertulia.com?
Is it even open to folks outside the US? I'd love to hear about anyone's experience/thoughts

Or alternatives you would recommend 🌞

@lastrobot @bookstodon Blackwells.co.uk might be a possibility. I use them to send books published in Germany and Switzerland to the US. (Shipping is usually included in the book price for US deliveries.)
