About the shop
The shop’s website says it holds more than half a million secondhand and antique books in Hebrew, English and German. About 60,000 popular titles are sold only to people who come in, and about 40,000 more are in the online catalogue. According to iTravelJerusalem, the municipal tourism site, the shop is on two floors with four large rooms of shelves and a separate section for old and rare books.
It has sold on AbeBooks since 2002, where it lists Israeli art, Zionism, the Bible, Shakespeare and periodicals among its specialties. A June 2026 article on 18Forty describes a family business in a basement, with postcards in boxes and art on the walls, and says the shop is struggling to stay open. OpenStreetMap lists it as open Sunday to Thursday 10:00–17:00 and Friday 10:00–14:00.
