Schoenhof’s Foreign Books
Saturday April 30, 2005
If you're looking for language-learning material in Italian, or you're interested in Italian fiction, nonfiction, or children’s books, try Schoenhof’s Foreign Books. Learning material includes grammars, textbooks, dictionaries, phrase books, audio courses, and linguistic studies, and the literary section of their Italian department continues to widen to include lesser-known works by major writers as well as a growing array of younger authors.
Founded in 1856, Schoenhof’s is the oldest foreign language book dealer and the fourth oldest bookstore in the United States, and they claim to offer the largest selection of foreign-language books in North America. Schoenhof’s has a retail store in Harvard Square (Cambridge, MA) and comprehensive distribution, mail order, and special order services.

Did this store go out of business?
I doubt if Schoenhof’s Foreign Books went out of business. That being said, I used the Internet Wayback Machine to investigate the site. Back in April of this year the following notice was posted on the home page at http://www.schoenhofs.com/
