Online Search for Antiquarian Books:

Search form for literature database:

How to use the search form:

• You only can search for the name and surname of an author, the title and the publishing year of it's first edition. For obvious reasons, you will NOT be able to search for book content itself.
• A request will list any data set which contains the entered string somewhere in that field, so entering 'A' in the Author's field will show all books published by authors which have an 'A' somewhere in their first or last name, not only the ones with 'A' as the first lettter of their last name !
• Requests do not take into account lower or uppercase writing.
• The publihing year of a book's first edition is always stored in 4 digits, so you may search for all books in a decade by entering just the first 3 digits. As I by far do not own all books in their first edition and some books even do not contain their printing date, the given year in some cases is just a 'best guess' figure.
• On the result page, the language of the book is indicated by the following values:
  • CZ (Tzech)
  • D (German)
  • E (English)
  • F (French)
  • N (Norwegian)
  If a book was published in multiple languages, the original language should be the first listed in the output field.
• The book 'type' is indicated similarly o the result page by the foloowing values (a book can have more than just one classification type):
  • C - Children's books telling canoeing stories
  • F - Fun stuff (e.g. comic books on canoeing)
  • H - Historic books (e.g. looking at canoeing history itself)
  • L - Literature which is generally related to rivers or canoeing
  • N - Narrative books (e.g. expedition books)
  • R - Riverguides & river descriptions
  • T - Teaching books (e.g. how to learn canoeing, navigation)
.
• If you enter strings in more than one field, only datasets fulfilling all entered conditions will be listed. If you do not enter anything, you will get a list of all contained books (at the moment 410+) !
