Some small, well-curated gift items available. Seats are tucked into small, charming areas around the store if you want to sit and peruse some things.

Charming little book store - always worth a visit!…read more As a book lover, I am constantly torn between two kinds of stores: the mega bookstores where you can be sure to find exactly that one novel that you've been looking for, and the charming little, privately run bookstore around the corner, with all its quirky little nooks and handpicked books. This store is definitely of the latter kind. Whenever I'm in town I always try to make the time to visit this shop & have a look around, knowing that I'll always find at least one book to take home with me. This is the sort of place where the lovely saleswomen will still offer you personal recommendations, because they know EXACTLY the kind of book that you would like. I have often come in here in order to buy a gift, with no idea what the person in question would even read, and left with the perfect book - which btw was always spot-on! The difference to large chain stores is that, here the people selling the books are also the ones who have read them in the first place. Of course the range of books is significantly smaller, and you have relatively small sections of children's and teen books, crime novels, historical novels, etc., but there is a large cooking section and an even larger travel section. Moreover, if you cannot find what you're looking for, they will always offer to order it in for you. It is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area, and as an avid reader I can only recommend to visit this charming little shop, as it's not even closely comparable to the experience of shopping in a huge, anonymous book store. You will always leave with that fuzzy warm feeling of being taken care of. =) Bottom line: * they might not have all the books you want... * ...but they can order those in * ... and it's so charming * ... with such a warm & cozy atmosphere * ... that you will never go back to cold, anonymous book stores again!

This book store is literally situated in the city centre, right at the Hugenottenplatz (opposite…read morefrom the McDonald's). It is rather large, set over three floors, and even includes a small café. The variety of books is quite large, covering all topics you can think of: cookbooks and travel guides, fiction and non-fiction, books in all kinds of languages, and even an entire area devoted to school and university books. It is perfect if you're looking for a gift (there is a huge "gift" area downstairs) or just browsing around. However, if you are looking for one book in particular, chances are high that they don't have it in stock. The service is great, nevertheless, they will order it for you and you can usually pick it up the next day! All in all, it's a nice store if you're looking for a random book to read, and it has a nice café included as well. (Try the Chai Latte!!) - just don't expect to find that ONE book you are looking for. PS: There are couches right next to the "travel area", just grab a book that looks nice, sit down and start reading. That way, if you like it, you can still buy it after having a proper in-depth look.
