English book stores in Düsseldorf

Tips on where to get English books

I´m new to the area, living in Krefeld but that allows easy access to Düsseldorf. I brought with me a small stockpile of english books, knowing that I wouldn´t necessarily be able to find more of them here with that much ease. I really love used books stores esspecially, and was wondering if there is some english book store hidden away somewhere that somebody knows about? I´ll admit I haven´t really looked much at all, but if anybody happens to know somewhere I should head it would be great.

how bout an online english book swap site. Try bookswapper

Stern-Verlag, located in Friedrichstr. 24-26, stocks some English books. Not a big selection certainly, but enough to grab a couple of books worth reading.

For new books only:

The book shop in Shadow Arkaden sells an OK selection of English books.

For a better choice try Mayersche in Essen or Köln. I don't think there is one in Düsseldorf.

And there's always Amazon...

Stern Verlag has the best English language book selection, a a least a thousand
you can also check the science and business book sections and they have a lot of English language stuff

and there is an English language library on Kasernenstrasse in the VHS (4th floor)
http://www.international-library.de/friend.html
they have some good history and pop knowledge books, as well as a huge selection of paperback thillers and videos

Mayersche has a place on Nordstrasse in Düsseldorf, not much better than the train/airport pot-boilers

Cologne used to have an English language bookstore, but it has since closed. It is turning into a cultural back-water

Well, thanks a bunch for all of the recommendations. It seems I´ll more than likely become a regular at the library depending on what they have in stock. I´m pretty flexible... and for anything I really need, it´s true, I can always resort to the internet.
