Not sure but last time I ordered from them I got directed to some page called Wiley something and had to pay in £ because I was in EU. Books arrived perfectly fine

Wiley are a European publisher.
they mostly deal in scientific journals and various academic literature.
They have the complete works of Kierkegaard and Jung so if you're interested in philosophy or psychoanalysis check those out. They also have some nice art books, I bought the John Singer Sargent one for someone as a gift and they greatly enjoyed it.
Why buy new book when I could just go on ebay and buy used copy for $5 or less? It's just ink on paper. If you are concerned about scribblings on the page, msg the seller and ask before you buy it.
The reason I asked was because their browsing functionality sucks. High quality books with incredible illustrations are mixed up with old print-on-demand books. You can’t sort by price, hell, you can’t even to view the price in the first place unless you open up the book in a new tab. In short, the site is shit but they undoubtedly have some gems worth picking up
Princeton? Aren't those the guys that sell that giant 2 volume Aristotle Complete Works?? Woooooowwwweeeeee I better drop everything and buy it right away! Aristotle, in a well-known passage of the Metaphysics, tells us that there were two inventions to which Socrates might justly lay claim—the defining of general terms (τὸ ὁρίζεσθαι καθόλου), and inductive reasoning (ἐπακτικοὶ λόγοι).
to be fair, the title isn't wrong. there IS systemic racism.. against Whites. also, isn't princeton universary press having their books made in third world countries now? some anon posted about it in the press thread a couple weeks back. said it's like three people that actually work there or something and that they don't have any equipment there anymore.
all the books i've ordered from princeton press have been printed in the united states. my dad used to work in a factory running a printing press in new england for a different company. most books are still printed in here because it's capital intensive and labor isn't a big cost. it takes like two or three people to man a printing press and that thing can spam out books all night with minimal intervention. plus books are big but not that valuable unlike say iphones which are small and expensive so the economics of shipping are way different.
How on earth has shipping here risen to 250 dollars? I admittedly haven't ordered anything from overseas myself since the war started, but 250 for a book is ridiculous. It was always pricey, but never to that extent.

Anglo academia.
nice thanks. I just ordered "alone with the alone" by henry corbin and ralph manheim and the second book in the series of the eranos yearbook essay collections for 50 bucks. alone with the alone on Amazon is more than 40 and Ive been meaning to pick it up but couldnt justify that price for one book.

Wiley are a European publisher.

so tired of everything being about fricking race. First fricking page.
holy fricking based??
huge list of authors and they decided to show almost only roasties. I hate women so much.
I'm only seeing two authors here.
The men?
I thought Mary Beard was somewhat based, though. Maybe I'm thinking about someone else

I thought Martin Luther King already proved this.

Blame capitalism then and trying to save a buck
all the books i've ordered from princeton press have been printed in the united states. my dad used to work in a factory running a printing press in new england for a different company. most books are still printed in here because it's capital intensive and labor isn't a big cost. it takes like two or three people to man a printing press and that thing can spam out books all night with minimal intervention. plus books are big but not that valuable unlike say iphones which are small and expensive so the economics of shipping are way different.
rip, shipping to Australia is $190
There is the Auden Collected Prose and European Literature and the Latin Middle Ages, so thats cool.
have you applied the coupon? because mine had disappeared after that
Coupon did not remove shipping costs for me. I think I'll pass
