This small neighborhood book store is a gem hidden in Istanbul’s posh neighborhood Nisantasi in the downtown area in the high end shopping and restaurants’ street of Abdi Ipekci Caddesi. Located in the under passage of the landmark building Reussurans, for the past 17 years, it serves book lovers, who lost similar friendly bookshops after the giant chain bookstores wiped them off, in its nostalgic well decorated store full of Turkish and foreign language, mostly English, books. It has the greatest collection of big size coffee table art books. It offers iconic Cornucopia collection as well daily foreign language newspapers and magazines. Its friendly staff takes orders for titles that you are searching and delivers them speedily. It is a pure joy to sit in this stylish shop on their elegant leather sofa, sip coffee from their soft drinks bar and surf through the pages of the books that you select. We owe big thank you for small commercial operations like this and need to keep supporting them to allow their survival.
