What are some online bookstores and art stores in Switzerland?

Question

Hello,

I have an American friend living in Lausanne, Switzerland. She's temporarily stuck there, poor, depressed, and needs more to do, so i'd like to be able to send her art supplies and books in English.

It makes more sense to have stuff sent from a store there than it does to send it from here (particularly as i don't want her to have to pay for duties) but i'm having a lot of trouble finding Swiss online mail order stores of this type. Can anyone offer suggestions, or is anyone in Switzerland reading this who can tell me of some webstores there that sell art or craft supplies or books and can mail to her?

Thank you so much... you'd really be helping this nice young woman! :)

Here are a at least two links from stores in Switzerland that sell English books:

There are plenty more online book shops in Switzerland, but their websites are unfortunately not in English - or at least I didn't find them. Good luck anyway and all the best to your friend.
