Ferdosi began its operations in 1984. We are an importer and distributor of foreign books in Scandinavia. We purchase books directly from international publishers and distributors. The books are then shipped by air to our warehouse in Sweden.
Our primary goal is to provide the best possible service to libraries/companies and private customers, with the fastest delivery and the most competitive prices.
Our selection of literature is based on many years of experience and is developed in consultation with literary experts and the preferences of librarians/companies.
All acquired books are cataloged in our database according to the Library of Congress bibliographic cataloging standard MARC 21. Titles are transferred to the LIBRIS national database with our designated Sigill.
Our system allows main libraries to add and manage multiple branches under a single account. For each branch, we provide detailed statistics, purchase history, and other relevant data. This information can be used by the main library to support budget planning and allocation across branches.
Libraries with agreements can receive discounts on our web-based library prices.
