Vendors for Greek Language Materials from Cyprus, Greece and Turkey

At the recent Forum for Classics, Libraries, and Scholarly Communications meeting at the AIA/SCS Conference in New Orleans, the topic of reliable Greek vendors came up as it usually does when a group of classics librarians gets together. I offered to pull together a list of “approved” vendors from Greece to post to the FCLSC blog. Acquiring Greek language materials published in Cyprus and Turkey also is a challenge, so I decided to add a couple of choices from each of those countries as well.
Those who have made this list have weathered Greek economic crisis, although are still struggling in the credit-starved, cash-only reality in which they operate. This should be a dynamic list. Please comment and add your own recommendations! I welcome feedback and questions both on and offline: email: karabel [at] fas.harvard.edu / phone: 617-495-2426
