English-language bookstores in Munich

i love to read books. i read them all the time, mainly on the S and U-Bahns, since i spend so much time commuting. but i only know two shops in munich - hugendubel, with it's branches, though i mainly use the one on Marienplatz, and another shop near one of the U6 stations which i forgot the name of (i think it's called simply "the english book shop" or something like that). But Hugendubel offer a limited supply, mainly thrillers and best sellers, and the other is kind of pricey...does anybody know any other shops in munich?

P.S
i'm reading now "The Plot Against America" by Phillip Roth, and it is highly recommended...very good book...

Perform a search. There have been about seventeen hundred threads about this topic most of them recommending the used bookshop in the westendstr.

Sorry, no offence, but have been waiting to use this smiley forever...

There are two branches of Wordworths on Schellingstr, right by the University. They have only english books.

If you want to borrow rather than keep buying...the Bookshelf is a volunteer-run lending library. I just started volunteering there and for a little place they are packed with books and good ones at that! You can check out their website here:

Trying to find this book in english in munich any ideas where, would also take it in german but i dont think its been translated into german. The original is (il cucciaio d'argento)

Well, I was about to tell you that The Silver Spoon is in Knoxville, Tn and was a good restaurant the last time I was there.

thanks for that contribution randy! anyone know where i can buy this book or which book store in munich is good for english books only out fromember

There are several bookstores that might have this book. You can check with Dave Dowdy as he has two now I think and then there is the guy that will open a bookstore near The Arc any day now if not already. Both have advertised here on TT. Then there is always eBay and Amazon.

Dave's second location.

Check out Wordsworth at Schellingstr. 21a. They have a great selection.
Or make some phone calls to any of these.

Try the English Hugenduble at Salvatorpl by Odeonspl. They have a great selection, or they can order it for you.

I'll second the Wordsworth recommendation. At first you might think it's small...but it keeps going...and going...they've got quite a selection.

i saw a few at the english hugenduble a few weeks ago, but this book was a hot seller this christmas. it may be on back order by now.

Why not order it from here.

Using the search function (upper right corner) would be a good idea. Example: English bookstores in Munich.

amazon.de online has a good selection and quick delivery. You could also try bookswapper.de an english book swapping site, though finding specifically what you are looking for there might be tough, it is more like browsing a library and finding something that sounds interesting. Hugendubel has a couple of locations in Munich but whether they have exactly what you are looking for I don't know, but they do have large English sections. There is also a used english book seller here on Toytown (use the search function, I am drawing a blank right now) with a very large selection. Good luck.

Yeah i recommend the link gen displayed. I bought quite a few books there and the owner was a very nice guy. Great selection of all the classics as well as nonfiction ie biographies.

I'm moving home at Xmas and I am selling off a big collection of books relating to National Socialism and the Holocaust, I used all these books for research to become a tour guide at the KZ Gedenkstatte Dachau (Memorial Site), I have also got a load of DVD's related to the same subjects incl Shoah by Lanzmann, signed copies from Prof Ian Kershaw etc. PM me if you want a full list.

hello all,
I can´´t help but ask this question on this thread... do you guys have any Christopher Moore books to give away, or to sell, even lend for a couple of days???
I loooove his books, but couldn´´t find any at the Readery.
Let me know guys
thanks

Though you might not find new released books...

Try the Munich Readery - Secondhand Books in English - it is in Schwabing - here the website www.readery.de.

I just visited the Words-worth english book shop. they have a great selection and finally I was able to
find Lamb (Christopher Moore) That´s one great book and the price was very good.

The books are in order and also the staff is very very helpful and friendly
