Librairie universelle
Search once for a work, compare editions and see different legal ways to access it, free or paid, without profiling or opaque ranking.
Who is this for?
For readers who want to compare book editions and find legal access options, including digital libraries and independent bookstores. Search is still in alpha, edition matching is incomplete, and unified checkout is unavailable.
What it does and what is planned
- Work-based search with progressive edition grouping
- French and English ebook sources, including BnF and Gallica
- Independent bookshop discovery around Metz and Moselle
Latest development
On 9 October, federated searches, bookshop/ebook results and resource loading were improved.
Known limitations and next steps
- Search remains in alpha: grouping and coverage still need work.
- No integrated payment or unified multi-bookshop checkout yet.
