What Sets Us Apart

We would like to quickly go over why we think a webshop like the one you're on right now is something that is direly needed in Switzerland.

First of all, we know that there are many expats living in Switzerland and we also know that many of them, many of you, don't speak German that well, if at all, since your stay may be limited to a couple of years and, well, learning German is a pain.

So for you expats - and for all anglophiles - this shop is your Swiss online haven for all things English.

We carry over 5 Million English titles.




Personal Staff Recommendations
You might know the English Bookshop on Bahnhofstrasse, Zurich. Our staff there is always very willing to recommend great titles to our customers. Now their recommendations have also moved to the web - and we're very happy about that!

Hot Off the Press
Be the first to know which books are still warm and smell of lovely ink.

Coming Soon
It's rather hard keeping track of things that don't exist. So let us handle that for you!

Newsletter
With things changing so quickly and new books being released almost daily, we're sure our newsletter will help you keep up to date and make certain you won't miss a great new release.

Gifts & Accessories
We don't want to limit ourselves to selling books. We also want you to have the coolest clothes, iPhone cases, silly hats and waving Queens. But some things are just better sold in a store than over the internet. So we provide you with information online about wonderful things that we stock here.

Hard to Find Books
Some books are just really hard to find, maybe because they're out of print or maybe you're just looking for a very specific edition. That doesn't mean that they're not around anymore, waiting in some dusty bookcase for you. We'll help you find it, so contact us with your inquiry!

We're very much looking forward to your order!
