Hello, 

A couple days ago, I requested information on bookstores 
selling Greek books. I received many replies and I would like
to thank all those who replied to my posting. Since, I also 
received many mails asking me to share any possible piece of 
information I'd receive, I post the answers I got.

George, the only ones I know of that sell Greek books by mail are in
London.  I know at least one of them will fill U.S. orders, since I used
to get their catalog, but I forget which one.  Anywayt, the ones I know
about are:

   The Hellenic Book Service
   122 Charing Cross Road WC2
   London
   phone 836-7071

   Zeno
   6 Denmark Street WC2
   London 
   phone 836-2522

   Kimon Bookshop
   87-88 Plender Street NW1
   London
   phone 387-8809

   So if you can't find a U.S. source you might want to write the above
or even call -- usually it just costs a couple of dollars to call London
for a short conversation if you do it between 11 pm and 7 am (check with
your phone company for the cheapest times.)

I would try Schoenhof's in Cambridge, Mass., one of the more
significant foreign-language bookstores on the East Coast.  They carry
both classical and modern Greek, and accept mail orders.

Sorry, no phone # handy.  They're in the book.-- 
When the Persians have an important decision to make, the leaders discuss it
when drunk. They revisit their decision when sober, and adopt it only if they
reach that same conclusion again.  Conversely, any decisions made in sobriety
are reconsidered in drink. {Herodotus, bk. 1}   eck@panix.com  Mark Eckenwiler

mailorder, and they are great.
