Are you looking for books to learn Polish? You can find pretty much everything on Amazon.com.

If in the US, go to Borders Books and ask the SPO clerk to special order, for only the cost of the book--no order or shipping fees--whatever titles you want. You should only order titles you intend to buy--this service is not a "look see"or "free library"service, but is a good one to try.

I used to do the special orders at my local Borders. They are faster and cheaper than Barnes and Noble and since no shipping costs are passed on to you, for one or two inexpensive books they are usually cheaper than Amazon. They have agreements with foreign book publishers and distributors in some cases, not just book wholesalers like Baker & Taylor.

They can buy an overstock book from a book warehouse/depository, or get it from a vanity press or the author, from a museum (in which case you may be asked to prepay) or get stock from other Borders stores.

Try also Schoenhofs.com, Powells.com, or google for Harvest Books, Abe Books and the NY location of Jay's Book Stall.

Try polandbymail.com. This is a good start. If you're interested in Polish movies you can also go to polishmoviesonline.com. Hope this helps.

My girlfriend got me jetBook - an electronic book reader. It comes with many Polish books downloaded and has a built-in dictionary. Really cool. They give you also links to free electronic books, but I am still reading my first book...

And then there is always your local public library. You'll be shocked to find that many library systems have all kinds of books in Polish. Happy reading.

I recommend a book in Polish language entitled "Moja Ameryka" by Kleofas Hubert Rundzjo (my husband) published in 2010 in Poland (pages 247, ill.). The author had a very interesting life. Born in Poland before the WW2 (now this is Bialorus), after the war moved to Poland, in 1952 as a 17 year old young pupil put to the prison for underground political activity, than thanks to Stalin's death released from the prison 2.5 years later. Studied Turkish and History of Art in Warsaw University. Escaped to USA in 1965. Studied Russian Language in Boston, than made a doctorate at Brown University, Providence, R.I. In 1970 moved to Long Beach, CA, gived the lectures on Russian language in several California universities. Then real estate investor. Currently lives in Houston, Texas. You can order a book by sending $15 money order or check to Kleofas Rundzjo, 1931 Redway Ln, Houston, TX 77062. You can order more than one book (even 100).

Sounds like an incredible life. I'd like to read that book myself.

This is to Barbara Zakrzewska, bzakrzewska@aol.com,

Could you be relative to Roland Rundzjo of Long Beach, CA.? I'm sorry to just pop up on a blog and ask you such a personal question, I have a very important matter to discuss with Mr. Rundzjo.

I don't want to display his confidential and private affairs on a public network, if you could please contact me so I can explain the urgency of this matter I would greatly appreciate it. You can reach me by email at: eslmelesl@yahoo and I will return a message with my phone number. I will be in great hopes for response, Thank you.

Renee

(I was very impressed with your husbands accomplishments after living through the horrors of the Holocaust. Such an evil place and time for a young boy...)

Hi
I have recently used this page: thepolishbookstore.com. Their prices are the best among the bookstores I've already tried and they deliver to every place in US and Canada. They have such a wide variety of books that one can get lost if not knowing what to order :)

I ordered some textbooks and they arrived really quickly.

just wanted to mention a newly released book - its the story of a young man forced to fight for the wermacht as a tank driver

during the second world war - or having his family sent to a concentration camp. like many Poles from northern Poland who were "Germanized" This story tells the story of one such man Czeslaw Knopp who reached Stalingrad only to find himself on the allied side at the end of the war under general Anders. For many years, these people were considered to be collaborators, but at last the truth can be told. After the war, he found himself in England, married and had eight children. He is 89.

may we never forget.....
Available att the Polishbookstore.com.

Based in PL empik.com and merlin.pl have great selections, low prices, and will ship to US - if your order is sizable it is definitely worth it, just do the math (for small orders I would use one of the domestic sellers mentioned above).

Merged: Looking for Polish books about pure math

Hi I am living in Canada but I am looking to trying to learn about pure math in the polish language. Any advice where I could find such books to order from online? Maybe I can even buy a kindle or some e-reader if there is an electronic format, but a hardcopy would be great as well.

Thankyou.
