They also carry some gorgeous stunning edition books with splayed edges (think Sarah J. Maas and other fantasy books) -- all in German. Upstairs, there's a beautiful selection of papery- journals, pens, stationary, etc. the staff was very friendly, spoke English, and meticulously re-shelved books. I can't give higher than 3 because the prices are truly outrageous.

The book was brand new. But I didn't get the refund , they gave me a 48.8chf gift card...... First stuff which I politely asked her the reason why can't I get the refund was such a bad attitude. There's also no paper documents to be shown that the bookstore have the rights to give the gift card instead of refund.
