>20 dollars

where in europe is that? where in europe (that makes a big difference? You are not european yourself to think you do not need to specify country of it EU?)

books in which language, english?

Use bookfinder and put shipping country.

I do not know for how long you have lived where you live in now, but importing, shipping books has been expensive for a long time. Brexit did not help with the acess for english language books. Another alternative is to look at all the european based amazons, including UK (though if you are in the eu or another country with strict customs you might pay custom taxes) and check there for used copies and their shipping prices to your country. Though keep in mind even using amazon ostensibly for EU countries, if the place the seller ships is outside the EU it is liable for customs, though some sellers seem to take care of it.

Sorry, I directed my question at Americans :)

Thank you for opening my eyes to Bookfinder. I see Amazon (De) has a pretty good collection and that should mean no import taxes as well.

Do you know of any specific firms like this?

they might have import taxes, it does not matter where the amazon is, just where the seller is.

for used books, not specifically, but for books in general bookdepository (and if book is not out of print, it will likely be bew less than 5+20 dollars for shipping)

Thanks, I'll take look if the need arises but generally this would be for used books, books still in print can generally be ordered trough Swedish firms.

At these shipping costs it might be cheaper to visit and transport the books myself (once my list of books to buy is long enough). Know of any good physical stores for used books in the UK?
