This is a fun stop to pass away the time with three floors of books, entertainment, crafts,…read morenotepads, you name it. I was delighted to find a decent sized English section with classic literature kicking off at 3,60 Euro. The staff was friendly enough and able to point me in the right direction. I appreciated the cool blast of air conditioning the moment I stepped inside. The space is very crisp and modern. If you're looking for travel books and guides, they have you covered. However, mostly in Italian. I would describe this place as the Barnes & Noble of Italy. I also noticed that they have a fair number of kids books and toys available. Happy reading! (And AC;)

The experience here was not that great. It's not because of the selection of books and other…read morereading materials available or the fact that there are lifesize displays of anime and superhero characters on the upper floor, it's because of the rude staff who, instead of letting me know in a polite way not to sit on an empty floor shelf, raised her voice and used gestures to suggest that I leave the store. I was with my family of 5 and instead of letting them shop there and give them our business, we headed for the exit and vowed not to come back. Luckily we found another Mondadori somewhere else and did not encounter any rude staff working there.

Very interesting store. At first I thought it was just a book store, then I walked to the top and…read morerealized it was a lot more than I had expected and ended up staying for a good amount of time. There are 4 or 5 floors. Each bullet will represent a floor - Basement and cant remember what is here. - Books - Stationary items and misc things that we would find in Chapters that arent books. I hope that helps a bit in what is on this floor. - Electronics - I want to say CDs, DVDs, etc - Kitchen appliances and various other kitchen supplies and utensils. On this floor I saw they had 2 rooms where 1 room looked like there was going to be an author meet and greet and the other room a kitchen with chairs were lessons on cooking were about to be taught. I liked the combination of all things media and home were rolled up into one store! There were a lot of quality items here.

American Bookstore wasn't an Amazon-styled warehouse of books. They had no catalog. You just look at the shelves and pick something out. And they have an immense selection to peruse and ponder. There were a lot of classics and plenty of new titles. They even had a large selection of rare books with a staff dedicated to restorations. It felt right out of The Nineth Gate. I spent an hour pulling volumes and pondering before I made my selection. It was one of the best hours I've spent in days but will be penultimate to when I open the book later on.

There are several rooms with a vintage 'rustic' decor where one can eat or study. I was there mid-afternoon and the crowd was mostly well dressed students, shorts, beards, framed glasses and manbuns.

My normal mode is alcoholautopilot and on this flight I was navigating between the Centro Historico backstreet Cafe Bars in my quest for Alicia Lini 910 and happened to notice a rather magnificent arch to my right. As i glanced over, i saw a courtyard within. Curiosity beckoned and i strolled through to see what was thither and lo and behold ...
