We visited the Berlin store (see my separate review) and loved it, so naturally we had to visit the…read moreCologne store. Once again, I could easily have spent many more hours browsing; the selection is *superb* and eclectic. Also, everyone working there was incredibly helpful and quite friendly.

If only I could read German I would spend here days. Unfortunately I can only read their English…read moreand French sections (the only original language sections they have). Both the English and the French sections are small but the selection is very nice. The English one has lots of current issues; the French one seems to be more dedicated to classics than to new books (but I would need to go back to confirm). The nice thing is that you're free to roam around for hours and no one bothers you (and there are sofas). The philosophy section is just fantastic (for German speakers). The owners (?) seem rather helpful, even if a bit brusque (might be a cultural difference) but I suspect they do not speak much English (or any other language beside German) (to confirm). (They also have Gallimard notebooks! (no more than a couple of euros more expensive than in France)).

Very good bookstore, many different categories+English books. I Can only recommend it.read more

An American style book store, now also in Düsseldorf. The interior is lovely, but the presentation…read morein the main areas is focused on selling you merchandising rather than actual books - Scottish cookies, blank books, Düsseldorf souvenirs, etc. (very much like any Barnes & Noble or Borders). There's a small corner dedicated to English books, but the Stern-Verlag's selection is far superior. The staff was very nice and helpful the one time I was there. This is a bookstore to walk in if you're in the area. If you're looking for books, you should go to the Stern-Verlag.

This bookstore is located inside Cologne's main train station (Hbf) and we went there yesterday…read morewhile waiting for our train back to Frankfurt. The store is large and it has a terrific selection, with the exception of too few photography & art books. Also, everyone working there was very friendly and helpful.

Located inside the central station: good spot for killing time while waiting for a train (the…read moreDouglas on the other side is also a good spot for this but less intellectual). Good selection of international press (I found le monde diplo, charlie hebdo, le monde) and a very good selection of books in English (classics, fiction and non fiction, last time I visited they had several books by Chomsky). The selection in French is less good, though, mostly current 'navets' and translations.

From the owner: Kleiner Second-Hand-Buchladen mit "Pay what you want". Günstige deutsche, englische und…read morefranzösische gebrauchte Bücher aller Richtungen. Das Pay-what-you-want-Prinzip bedeutet: der Kunde bestimmt selbst den Preis (im fairen Rahmen). Durch eine Mitarbeiterin ist eine Kernöffnungszeit von Mo-Fr 11 - 18:00 gesichert, Sa 10-12, ansonsten ist in der Regel der Inhaber aber auch von 9-22 Uhr da. Wir nehmen auch gerne Buchspenden in kleinem Umfang an (Bitte keine alten Buchclub & Bildband Ausgaben und Lexika). Größere Mengen bedürfen der Absprache.

I was yelping around the Agnesveedel again today, and have the wonderful chance to visit this nice…read morebookstore. From outside it does not look extremely big, but they do have varieties of books that are updated. Maybe it is the equivalent for mini mayersche. The part of it being small does not limit its book qualities as they offer very updated books. And that is the exception for me, because they do not have a lot of English books and i was specifically looking for a series of Old books that even through online bookstore i can not find easily.

Well, it's true they have a bigger selection of English books than other shops in town, but very…read morevery few classics. Sigh. Too bad. Wish they had more books like that, instead of all the many many many toys and games and baby things and stuffed animals. Also, .50€ to use the bathroom?! Luckily I snuck in behind another customer. Must be expensive because of the fufu blue lighting in there.

Amazing!!! I always buy in this store... Last time i was…read morethere in February this year.. I was lost searching for a book. A I contacted the lady at work there, she got the books out for me and even asked what kinds of gifts can I buy for my kids.. she gave me best advice.
