Maybe the Sefer you need was recently reprinted ?
Our New Books Section is frequently updated. New Books specializes in Seforim published privately by Rabbis and scholars which are often sold only from their homes. Also a selection of the Seforim that our customers asked for recently are posted here. So if the Sefer you need was printed in the last year you may find it on New Books or browse our retrospective catalog from 2004 in html or download it as an Excel file.

Our Publishers Showcase is a catalog of catalogs. We scan printed Jewish Publishers catalogs and price lists. We also copy electronic catalogs and link to publishers web-sites when available. If you know the publisher of the Sefer you are looking for and it was printed in the last five years you may find it on The Publishers Showcase. When you order a book you found in one of the catalogs and cite the exact book title, and catalog (URL), there are no search charges.
