Terrific English bookstore…read more Upstairs in this German bookstore, there is a large and excellent English bookstore. Extremely well stocked not only with light reading, bestsellers, and books about Switzerland, but with the latest titles form New York and London papers. Makes it eaasy to keep up with what's happening back home. Oh, and if you're longing for a taste of home, there is a well-stocked selection of British comfort food. Marmite, tinned puddings, Colman's mustard, all the brands Mum used.

I visited Zurich last year and found Calligrame while I was walking through the Old Town. I fell…read morein love immediately. The owner is wonderful and sweet.

Orell Fussli is the perfect medicine. :) It's also right in the middle of Zurich. If you're wanting an English book store there's another Orell Fussli English down the street. But I'm so over English books, those were so yesterday. just kidding I've bought a few things from here. The Lion King DVD in German, a German cook book, a calendar, and a few cards. It's really a lovely store. Ich liebe Orell Fussli. Ich finde diese Ort warm und prima. Die Bucher sind nett und die Leute auch. Ich komme hier wenn ich traurig bin und dann bin glucklich ich. Ich komme hier wenn ich glucklick auch bin. Ich bin glucklich wenn ich hier bin. :D
