BASAR (book series)
Bazaar (proper spelling: BAZAAR ) was a popular book series of the GDR from the publisher New Life in Berlin .

Most of them are works by German authors, a smaller proportion consists of works by authors from Eastern European countries such as Poland , Hungary and the Soviet Union , but there are also works by American, French, British and other authors. Both individual works and collections are included.
The series was published throughout as a paperback in the format 13 × 20 cm without a dust jacket . All editions were illustrated. Many illustrators worked it to a greater extent already for this or other publishers of the GDR, as Karl Fischer , Reiner Schwalme , Werner Ruhner , Günther Lück and Erhard Schreier .
There are both new releases and re-releases and translations published. The series appeared from 1970 to 1990 and was then discontinued due to the liquidation of the publisher. A total of 80 issues were published, from historical novels to collections of scientific and fantastic stories .
The editions appeared irregularly, up to eight new editions per year, plus a growing number of reprints.
