Search Tips
Search Tips
Our search has the following Google-type functionality:
+ (addition symbol)
If you use '+' at the start of a word, that word will be present in the search results.
eg. Harry +Potter
Search results will contain 'Potter'.
- (minus symbol)
If you use '-' at the start of a word, that word will be absent in the search results.
eg. Harry -Potter
Search results will not contain 'Potter'.
AND
If you use 'AND' between 2 words, then both those words will be present in the search results.
eg. Harry AND Potter
Search results will contain both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
OR
If you use 'OR' between 2 words, then either or both of those words will be present in the search results.
eg. 'Harry OR Potter'
Search results will contain just 'Harry', or just 'Potter', or both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
NOT
If you use 'NOT' before a word, that word will be absent in the search results. (This is the same as using the minus symbol).
eg. 'Harry NOT Potter'
Search results will not contain 'Potter'.
" " (double quotation marks)
If you use double quotation marks around words, those words will be present in that order.
eg. "Harry Potter"
Search results will contain 'Harry Potter', but not 'Potter Harry'.
* (asterisk)
If you use '*' in a word, it performs a wildcard search, as it signifies any number of characters. (Searches cannot start with a wildcard).
eg. 'Pot*er'
Search results will contain words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er', such as 'Potter'.

Our Favourites For This Month!
Im Land der Regenbogenschlange Andreas Altmann Andreas Altmann starts in Sydney & returns a quarter of a year later with a backpack full of stories fom the fifth continent. Like Jeffrey, the Aborigine that could inheret 5 billion dollars but won't. Anyone who reads this book returns to Europe wiser, happier, more light hearted & with a heart and mind full of unbelievable images.
"Well-acknowledged travel author Altman wrote this book about a three month trip through Australia. During his trip he met a lot of interesting people with fascinating stories – that makes this book worthwhile reading!"
|
| Fussballbekloppt! Reiner Calmund The autobiography of Reiner Calmund, one of the most famous figures in German football. To 'Calli' everything is big: his self-confidence, his girth, his sayings and his passion for football! In his own words, Calmund discusses his roots, projection of his career and his time at the top - with all scandals included.
"The charismatic German football manager wrote an autobiography that is fun to read. “Calli” had (and still has) and interesting life that is devoted to football and probably would have enough stories to write a second book!"
