Online store to buy En,Ge>Sp dictionaries, glossaries? Thread poster: Paola PCR

Hi, ProZ,
I have tried to find a good online store to buy new En,Ge>Sp technical dictionaries and glossaries, but found nothing reliable. I have tried Amazon.com of course, but I am looking for other sources.
Also, if there is any such books you would like to suggest for me to have, please let me know.
I live in Chile, so it is really difficult for me to find good material.
I know you will help me. All the best... See more Hi, ProZ,

Books a Million sure beats prices on Amazon and Barnes&Noble. However, I haven\'t explored their reference area fully; I bought mostly literary books. Until now every shipment has been on time (I live in Uruguay) and they sometimes include discounts for future purchases.
Hope it helps,
Rossana

FWIW, buecher.de no longer sells overseas, only within the EU or Europe.

I think I was the one who posted it. Grant and Cutler is London is an incredible place. I almost emptied the bank when I was last there...the money that was supposed to go to a tic to see a show on West End went to an electrical engineering dictionary. Talk about torn apart. I think they ship orders.
Routledge in the US is good for those living in the Americas. I\'m sure their reach extends to our southern neighbors.

Trudy is right, buecher.de no longer ships to N.America (and for that matter, S. America). TOo bad, since their prices are really great and you get free shipping if you order >DM400.
IDB is also good and has more choices than Routledge but their prices are about 20-30 percent higher than buecher.de.
You should address this question to those living in Madrid and Barcelona. I am pretty sure there are specialized bookstores there (on-line or not) for us translators.

I don\'t know if this will do you any good, but since Marcus mentioned it, there is at least one good specialized bookstore for translators here in Madrid:
Librería Don Libro
C/ Andrés Mellado, 29 (Esq. Meléndez Valdés). 28015 MADRID. Tel.: 915 44 70 70. Fax: 915 49 46 10. Especializada en diccionarios y libros de idiomas.

Good luck!

Check out Kater Verlag at www.kater-verlag.de.

They do ship to addresses outside Germany (AFAIK, shipping within Germany is free, outside Germany at net postage).

They also have a good selection, but I must say that I\'ve always found their prices a bit on the high side. ▲ Collapse
