This place is a trap as in, once you enter you don't want to leave anymore and easily can spend a day inside. For a break you go to the cafe inside where a very friendly man offers you teas, cakes.... The shop is huge with an extensive range of book genres and all in a three level beautiful shop.

Nice store stretching over three floors, full of books in English – fiction, YA, non-fiction. A few books are on sale, so it's worth keeping an eye out for the shelves in between that say "Sale". You can also find postcards, magazines and games, plus there's a café (which I haven't tried though). A great place for anyone looking for books in English!
