At least in Germany, using Amazon is often the easiest way to buy copies of foreign-language (often, but not always English) textbooks about scientific topics.
- albert180 4y agoLiterally every other Bookstore has them listed too, with overnight delivery
- q-big 4y agoMy experience differs. Perhaps the reason is that the scientific textbooks that I love to buy are often "long-tail business", i.e. textbooks about very specialized topics. The situation is even more biased towards Amazon if we are talking about used obscure textbooks in good condition for a fair price.
