About Us
Books without borders
BookBar is the new project by Rotomail Italia, bringing original-language books to customers through online sales.
An international catalogue designed for those looking for hard-to-find titles, specialist editions and books published by publishers from around the world.
An easy way to explore millions of titles and have the book you are looking for printed for you..
A catalogue to explore.
Not every book is easy to find. Especially when you are looking for original-language titles, specialist publications or books intended for a niche audience.
That’s why we have chosen variety as our starting point: millions of titles, many languages, and a catalogue designed to go beyond what you would normally find on the shelves.
Find your next book, use our search filters or explore the catalogue. You might just find exactly what you were looking for.
A book, when you need it.
Print on demand is changing the way books reach readers.
Each title is printed when it is ordered, without the need for large print runs.
This model allows us to make niche titles available and give you more choice, while reducing unnecessary production and supporting a more sustainable approach to publishing.
BookBar for you.
Rare and hard-to-find books, printed and delivered to you in a short time.
Bookbar is for those who:
- Read in the original language.
- Are looking for an out-of-print or hard-to-find title.
- Study and need a specialist edition.
- Work in a bookshop and want to offer their customers a wider range of titles.
The experience behind every book
BookBar draws on the experience of Rotomail Italia, a company specialising in digital printing and the development of software and applications for the publishing industry.
We were among the first companies in Italy to develop print on demand services for publishing, turning on-demand printing into a practical solution for publishers, distributors and other book-trade professionals.
Over the years, we have built partnerships with major players in the book trade, including Messaggerie Libri and Ingram, developing solutions that make titles available when they are needed, without the need to produce and handle large quantities of copies.
From print on demand to BookBar.
From print on demand to BookBar
BookBar grew directly from this experience.
We have brought the principles of print on demand to online book sales, creating access to a vast international catalogue: millions of original-language titles, from literary classics to academic and specialist publications, as well as books that can be difficult to source through traditional channels.
