If you wish to purchase any publication, there are some 50 highly qualified sales agents throughout the world. But all good book-sellers and bookshops should also be in a position to help you with your publication request.
If you are interested in a specific document on the EU (e.g. legal acts, including pages from the Official Journal of the EC), there are document delivery services which provide this information via fax and mail. You may select the acts, which are stored on the ABEL database (document delivery system for EU directives), from the table of contents of the Official Journal of the EC.
On-line orders are possible via the EUDOR databases (repository containing official publications of the European Institutions)
