I was delighted to find a decent sized English section with classic literature kicking off at 3,60 Euro. The staff was friendly enough and able to point me in the right direction. I appreciated the cool blast of air conditioning the moment I stepped inside. The space is very crisp and modern. If you're looking for travel books and guides, they have you covered. However, mostly in Italian. I would describe this place as the Barnes & Noble of Italy. I also noticed that they have a fair number of kids books and toys available. Happy reading! (And AC;)

Yes, that 1775. It is likely one of the oldest bookstores anywhere. It was originally a chain of bookstores with others in Paris and Florence and Rome and Turin, but today only the Milan location remains. And in fact is only here in the Galleria Victtorio Emmanuele II because the people petitioned the government for it to remain. Thank you, Milanese, for recognizing how important books and reading are to humanity! This is a small shop and it is quite full. Some of the custom art is very expensive (look through the glass in the floor tiles) but there are many books here that are quite normally priced. And yes, some even in English. How cool is that!

I took the train into Milan specifically to go to this bookstore.

American Bookstore wasn't an Amazon-styled warehouse of books. They had no catalog. You just look at the shelves and pick something out. And they have an immense selection to peruse and ponder. There were a lot of classics and plenty of new titles. They even had a large selection of rare books with a staff dedicated to restorations. It felt right out of The Nineth Gate. I spent an hour pulling volumes and pondering before I made my selection. It was one of the best hours I've spent in days but will be penultimate to when I open the book later on.

It's not because of the selection of books and other…read morereading materials available or the fact that there are lifesize displays of anime and superhero characters on the upper floor, it's because of the rude staff who, instead of letting me know in a polite way not to sit on an empty floor shelf, raised her voice and used gestures to suggest that I leave the store. I was with my family of 5 and instead of letting them shop there and give them our business, we headed for the exit and vowed not to come back. Luckily we found another Mondadori somewhere else and did not encounter any rude staff working there.

Very interesting store.

There are 4 or 5 floors. Each bullet will represent a floor - Basement and cant remember what is here. - Books - Stationary items and misc things that we would find in Chapters that arent books. I hope that helps a bit in what is on this floor. - Electronics - I want to say CDs, DVDs, etc - Kitchen appliances and various other kitchen supplies and utensils. On this floor I saw they had 2 rooms where 1 room looked like there was going to be an author meet and greet and the other room a kitchen with chairs were lessons on cooking were about to be taught. I liked the combination of all things media and home were rolled up into one store! There were a lot of quality items here.

Libraccio is a chain of bookstores famous also for its used books section, this one in Navigli is…read moregreat because of it's position, right on the small Naviglio channel so if you're walking around you might want to stop by and find a second hand book for 2 euros. They have other two small shops nearby, one for school stuff (notebooks, etc) and another one for new books. The variety is mostly of Italian books but they have a good English section and even something in French, Spanish and German (just don't expect to see the novelties). The books are not ordered alphabetically so if you're looking for a specific book it can take ages to find (although they're more or less divided in genres), the conditions of most aren't very good and there's a funny smell inside, but for 2 euros, what can you expect?
