What to expect
A good recommendation can lead beyond the same authors you normally choose.
A good place to start
Bring a title you enjoyed and say what appealed to you. For a specific book, give the author and edition or ISBN, and ask about ordering and events.
What to compare
- Subject and language range
- Exact edition
- Recommendations and ordering
Make the visit count
Bring measurements, model details or an example of what you need. Ask to compare a few different options. If you are making a special journey, confirm the item is in stock and the service you need is available.
Something else to discover
Thrift store
Flea markets and thrift shops offer changing second-hand stock rather than a predictable catalogue.
Comic stores
Anime, manga, comic and K-pop shops can offer books, music and collectible merchandise with different languages, editions and licensing.
