Anybody know an online shop in the US to order foreign language books?

Specificly I' looking for a German version of Bertodt Brecht's poetry. I don't want to order it from a german site.

Actually, I was joking, but I just checked:
http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/301128/028-8744462-8874952?site-redirect=de

Good luck!

2. Hrm...

Sometimes you can get stuff from Amazon.com, too. You can also try Alphabetgarten.com, don't know how much adult stuff is there, but it's a cool site. Good luck!

www.globalbooks.de

And AFAIR amazon.com has some German language books.

Edit: yes it is a German page - so what? :shrug: :D
Free shipping is worth something too.

6. and AFAIR there is a store in New Haven

I'll ask the people from the German Department; give me a few hours. ( even the University Barnes&Nobles might be sufficient).

9. Wow, that was fast

No joy though: they order the books for the students over the European Books department of the University Barnes& Nobles, but apparently that's even more expensive than ordering from Germany directly.
There has to be a course on Brecht, I'd give the bookstore a call and ask. phone

For the other stuff they use either "HARRASSOWITZ" or globalbooks.
