Not much here that's actually printed in English, although the 'Writers' Bookshop' excels at
offering Hungarian translations of US, UK and European authors, plus thousands of interesting
home-grown titles. In-store coffee and an accomplished web presence also gets the
Írók Boltja our thumbs up!
II. Libri Mammut Könyváruház, Retek u. 1. Mammut II.

link), Metro: M2 Moszkva tér
Now we're not saying that Libri is the answer to all your literary needs, but this chain of
bookstores - which are found in all the major malls and downtown areas - is the Hungarian
equivalent of Borders in the US. So, what you get are inviting stores, a great selection of titles,
lots of stuff in English, language books galore (including all those hard to get sets of Hungarian
books) plus, in some cases, in-store coffee and polite, helpful assistants.
