Rude manager, very unpleasant experience. Won’t return.
At first they said, international shippings were no problem. Then they were unable to deliver - not even after 10 weeks (yes, really). Only then they informed me that this occurs in around 5% of the cases (not exactly what it sounded like in the beginning when they said "no problem"). And now they are seriously refusing to return the money. Even the shipment tracking number they gave me was invalid. Maybe they had never even shipped the item. Keeping the money without delivering the product. I have never before experienced such a dishonorable and in my opinion actually criminal business conduct. May amazon take over, soon.
A real Jerusalem establishment which I have gone to since i was a boy. Just a great bookstore with unique literature that can't be found anywhere else in the city.
Also was very happy to see the good internet site/web directory which makes it easy and simple to find whatever you're looking for. only wish the smell of old books could be passed thorough the site as well :)
I’m happy to recommend this gem of a bookshop. Ludwig Mayer is so much more than a little bookshop. It's a pleasurable experience.
I give it full scores for 3 reasons:
1. Service - Kind, knowledgeable and helpful. Need I say more?
2. Variety - Great selection of interesting books on various topics. I can summarize by saying that I have never asked for a book that they were unable to provide.
3. Location - Conveniently located in a central area and easily accessible.
Next time you need a book, I suggest you check them out!
Just got back from Ludwig Meyer and can only give good feedback. The staff were helpful and efficient and I found exactly what I wanted - 'Jerusalem' by Simon Sebag Montefiore. Such an incredible history!
I was tempted to get a bunch of other books too as their selection is so good and I almost missed my dentist appointment by being so absorbed in their collection. Not to worry, I'll be heading back there again often! :)
Ludwig Meyer is definitely the best small bookshop in Israel. They have books you can't find anywhere else and the staff really knows how to help you find what you're looking for. Plus it's in a great location and a pleasure to visit.
