Booksellers Renata Lapanja and Mateja Velušček will kindly welcome you to the bookstore. They are occasionally helped by students.

The Maks bookstore opened its doors in February 2024. It is the first academic bookstore in Nova Gorica, which offers specialized literature in the humanities and social sciences, and on the shelves you can also find high-quality domestic and foreign fiction as well as children's and youth literature. The bookstore appeals to both domestic and international readers, as the shelves are stocked with books in Slovenian as well as in other languages, especially English, Italian and Croatian. In accordance with the scientific research character of ZRC SAZU, the purpose of the bookstore is primarily to supply quality literature.

The selection of books is also suitable for more demanding readers who are looking for domestic and foreign professional literature in the fields of philosophy, sociology, history, archaeology, anthropology, art, ecology, political science, economic theory, gender studies, etc. Since it is its parent bookstore, all editions of the ZRC Publishing House are available in the bookstore.

All books of Založba ZRC can also be purchased at the Maks Bookstore with a 10% discount.

Expanded into a bright and comfortable space, the Maks bookshop joins a cafe, where every day smells of good coffee. Addresses the original center of Nova Gorica on the former Road no. 5, today's Delpinovi Street. The words caught between the covers hide the writings of great thinkers, contemporaries, poets, writers, echoing great names, the names of women Maks and men Maks, who navigated their lives between science and art.

Enter Maks, where good books await you. All good books have something in common, as Ernest Hemingway said, "they are more real than if they actually happened".
