Great little bookstore! It has tons of new books. The majority of the books are in English but they have a large selection in French as well. Downstairs are shelves and shelves of books (fiction, non-fiction, history, art, business, etc.) They have a good selection of magazines and a large selection of children’s books as well. Upstairs they have good selection toys and games for children. The offer here ranges from paperbacks to the most beautiful coffee table books.
The staff will use their computers to look up a particular title if you want to find the book in the shop. The staff is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the titles they carry.
D’s Books
Ideal place to stock up on the reading material – they have loads of stock all filed by genre and then alphabetically by author. You will definitely be able to find a book here! Do not surprised if they are more expensive than second hand UK books. If you buy a few books, they will do a deal as well. It is a great place to come for a browse.
Bohr’s Books
Great price and the good selection of English books. If you want to buy used books, cheap books and some old books, this is a place that I highly recommend to go.
