Our comics, manga, and books are standard retail items and—unless otherwise expressly stated for a specific item—are not sold as flawless collector’s items or graded copies.
All items from our online store are also part of our in-store selection. They are typically displayed unboxed on the shelves so that our customers can view and browse through them. If there are multiple copies of a title available, some of them may still be in their original packaging or shrink-wrapped.
Comics and books, in particular, sometimes arrive with minor signs of wear resulting from production, shipping, or storage—such as fine scratches, creases, or slight visual imperfections. Unfortunately, we have no control over this. Over time, additional minor wear may also occur due to display in the store.
If you place particular importance on the item being in the best possible condition or in its original packaging, please contact us before placing your order. We’ll be happy to take a closer look at the item you’re interested in and can send you photos in advance if needed.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, millions of people set out on the arduous journey toward an uncertain future. Weeks-long crossings of the Atlantic presented the emigrants with enormous challenges—not least when it came to food. This extraordinary cookbook offers a fascinating glimpse into the cuisine of that era and reveals which dishes accompanied people on their journey.
Author Bettina Meister has carefully researched and compiled the dishes and recipes of the emigrants. The result is a diverse collection of historically inspired dishes that were prepared on board using the ingredients available at the time. Despite simple means, the cuisine surprises with tasty and nutritious recipes that bring everyday life on sailing ships to life.
Supplemented by fascinating background information on the history of the great waves of emigration, the book combines culinary delights with fascinating insights into the lives of people on their way to the “New World.” A special cookbook for history buffs, home cooks, and anyone who wants to discover historical cuisine for themselves.
