Ah! My second home! Whenever I am in Würzburg, I always pay a visit to Hugendubel, and in…read moreparticular, the English book section. What I love about this store is that they never seem to mind if you read some of the book before buying (they have places to sit, just for this purpose!). You can also order stuff, which normally takes 24 hours to arrive, and there is a small coffee shop area.
The only bad thing I have to say about my heaven is that they are very inflexible about the book pricing. There have been many times when Amazon has seriously outpriced them on certain books, but Hugendubel refuses to reduce their prices to compete. I find it very hard to believe that they don't check Amazon to find out what their biggest competitor is selling books for. Yet months later, the books in Hugendubel sit there with their old more expensive prices.
Despite that little niggle, this is the best place to pick up your books, if you are in the area.
