English Bookstores

[Christopholous]

Not to sound like a total ex-pat, but does anybody know of any good bookstores/shops in the city that carry a selection of English literature? Anything from NY Times best sellers to reference books, just trying to locate some options while here.

Hello Christopholous,
Not in the city, but why not try Kel ediciones http://www.kel-ediciones.com/
This link could also help

Actually, they have 3 branches within the city, one of them on Marcelo T.

Hey Igor,
My mistake, I was referring to the headquarters, which are located in Martínez, behind Unicenter!
Cheers

Pricey, and the selection is poor. The owner and his wife make an annual trip to Washington, DC to buy some books (from book fairs, I think). On the other hand, there aren't many places in BsAs to buy English books .... Great selection of books in Spanish from innumerable bookshops -- if one knows the lingo.

Christopholous -
There is a great English bookstore on Paraguay between Talcahauno and Paraguay. It is across the street from the Howard Johnsons hotel. They have a great selection of Classical Lit as well as Popular fiction.
