Many literature enthusiasts and collectors dream of acquiring rare books and magazines. These editions are often real treasures that can only be found in specific stores and on select platforms. If you’re looking to expand your collection with rare items from Europe and the USA, our Shopogolic service can help you make the purchase and ship the order directly to your country — even if the store doesn’t offer international delivery.
Why look for rare books abroad
– Unique editions: European and American publishers often release limited print runs that are hard to find elsewhere.
– Curated selection of rare magazines: Many magazines, especially collectible or specialised ones, are available only in their countries of origin.
– Antique books: For collectors, antique books from Europe and the US can become true gems in their collection.
