Tired of ordering stuff from Amazon.de or .uk - shipping costs are high. Browsing is boring.
Does anyone know where to get some books in English in this town?

In particularly, I am currently looking for Robert Musil's "The Man Without Qualities" (in English). If you happen to have the 2 volumes - maybe I can borrow? Or we can exchange?

Much appreciated!

check out www.bookswapper.de. Trade books in english for just the mail cost (85cents). Large selection.

Or Dussmann on Freidrichstrasse. If they do not have it they will order it for you.

English Bookstores in Berlin

St. Georges has a large selection (mainly 2nd hand), can order for you and is in Prenzlauer Berg.

St Georges (27 Worther Strasse) is quite good as well as Another Country (7 Riemannstr)

as much as i hate to promote it if you can get your hands on it Septembers issue of the exberliner has i think every english language book shop as well as book shops containing english language books listed.

Dussmann is fantastic. It just blows the others away. Open until midnight too. And from 13:00 until 20:00 this coming Sunday. But it's often more expensive than Amazon.

if you call in a book order at Hugendubel they *usually* have the book delivered to the store location of your choice by the next day. the order number is listed on their website.

a little OT but if you make it to prague, it's worth it to go to Shakespeare's. I got a nice book fix there.

East of Eden in Friedrichshain is great... I had the card with the address, but of course I cannot find it now. You can find the location on google. I live nearby, but I noticed a U Bahn stop around the corner. It is a used bookstore, so pretty cheap, but they also have new books and even rare/first editions. I'll write back with the address if I find the card. P.S. the exberliner has a 10% off coupon in the current issue!

St. George“s in Prenz. is by far my favorite. especially if youre wanting something other than just run of the mill bestseller fiction.

If you haven't guessed by the redundancy of the Topic title AND the topic description, I'm looking for bookstores (preferably around Prenzlauer Berg) that sell books in English. I do apologize if this topic's been covered a thousand times, but I'm new to the forum.
