English Bookstores, please!!!

[samanthatt88]

Hello everyone, my name is Sam. My family and I recently moved to Marbella. I'm desperately searching for English bookshops. Currently I order books from the US, which arrive weeks later.... Please help! I'm looking esp. for stores that provide children's books. Thanks a lot!

English bookstores are kind of scarce outside the big cities.

Better you should order from the bookstores in the UK, especially something like Amazon.co.uk. You can normally get delivery in 4 or 5 days, and they can usually get most US titles (if they aren't published in the UK) pretty quickly. Amazon.fr and Amazon.de both offer good selections of English language books, too, with slightly better delivery times than from the UK.
Cheers,
Bev

They're pretty scarce in them too. But I'll confess I haven't really looked as they tend not to keep what I need/want anyway. Don't ask!

The Miramar at Fuengirola, the big indoor shopping centre has an English bookshop just as you go in on the righthand side!

hey sam, if you go to the La Canada shopping centre, FNAC, sell books in english, its a section near the tills, there is also a shop along the main road, Av de Ricardo Siriano, along the way to the burger king , you have to go up a lil slope once you see the sign for a SuperSol, i think they sell a few english books, its worth a look if nearby

i hope that helps i dont know if they will have the books your looking for, but its worth a look
