Schoenhof's Foreign Books
 

Description

Claiming to offer the biggest selection of foreign books in North America, this establishment is right at home in scholarly Harvard Square. The stock includes classics in original Greek or Latin, contemporary foreign literature and language education materials. The only translations available are for children's books. The most extensive selection is in French, Spanish, German and Russian, but hundreds of languages and dialects are represented. The store has been around since 1856, which is a long time in any language.

Treasure Chest!
By ,
Great collection of books in multiple languages. Literature, classics, philosophy, poetry, children's books, language learning sections...you name it. Justifiably pricy, but a lot of very good values. A treasure chest that I wish I'd discovered long ago...

great store if you are in boston. Terrible if you are not. Bought by MEP in chicago and website nonexistant for more than two years. What is their problem and why can't they get a catalogue at least if not a website.

Useful for a dabbler like me
By ,
I can't comment on the value of this classic book venue for fluent speakers, but I have modest knowledge of a few languages besides English and depend on Shoenhof's for dictionaries and texts with modest requirements. I find their store very well laid out and spacious. Prices are excellent.
