"Great book shop. Ordered a pretty difficult technology book in English that was not available even on Amazon. I booked it here and they got it before the expected time. Received an email to mention it was there , went on first floor. All good no surprise.Amazing !Of course books in Switzerland are super expensive. But I could jog see another way to get this book , otherwise renting a digital version for months."
