About Bublos: The Bublos headquarters is located just outside of Boston in Massachusetts, U.S.A., and it's here that we strive to maintain the high standards that have become a hallmark of our success, and which have made the Bublos website a favorite destination for shoppers seeking hard-to-find books and cheaper book prices. Thanks to our loyal visitors - and a healthy entrepreneurial spirit - while many other Internet companies have come and gone, Bublos has continued to go from strength to strength, and is now more popular than ever before.
Bublos has also been, and continues to be, a keen contributor to various fields within the arts. Bublos - The Name: Closely related to the word "biblio", which derives from the Greek words "biblion" (meaning "small book") and "biblos", the word "Bublos" is actually a Phoenician city from which papyrus was once imported - transliterated from the Greek "biblos", but now better known as Byblos. In turn, it is also interesting to note that these words form the origin of the modern-day word, "bible." Papyrus, as most will already know, was essentially the equivalent of paper for many ancient Mediterranean civilisations - from which some of the first books would certainly have been formed. This inspiring heritage convinced us of Bublos as being a perfect choice of names, and so it was that Bublos.com was conceived - we feel sure the ancient Greeks would have approved.
