Itamar Levy

Itamar Levy (Hebrew: איתמר לוי) is an Israeli author. He published six books in Hebrew, and some of them were translated into various languages. Levy is mostly known as a book-finder who helps in locating hard-to-find books, and books that the requester has only little details on. As a part of this service Levy participates in the "kol shishi" Israeli radio show. Levy owns the Itamar's bookstore in Zichron Yaacov and also runs a website by the same name, in which he offers second-hand books and a book search service, shares some of his unique stories about book locating, and publishes a newsletter about book-related topics. Since March 2008 he also co-runs a book site in English containing second hand books and various sections – all dedicated to Israel, the Jewish People, Judaism and the Middle East.
