Munich Kids

The Munich Readery is the largest shop for second-hand English language books in Germany. They offer 40,000 titles in English.  I love this bookstore!  It has a very cozy and relaxed feel to it.  If you are there without kids, you can browse for hours, if you’d like.  If you are there with kids, there is a small kids’ corner in the back with a table, chairs, and a few bright, clean toys for young children.  The store has a small selection of titles for children and teens. 

Books are offered for 30-70% off current list price.  You can also exchange your own books for store credit.    They have a very informative website that should answer your questions about their trading policy or other topics. 

The store is located at the corner of Augustenstrasse and Schellingstrasse.  Schellingstrasse, by the way, is  a treasure trove of bookstores, with titles in English and German. If you are a bibliophile and have some time on your hands, take the U3/U6 to the Universitaet stop and walk down Shellingstrasse for 7 blocks on your way to the Munich Readery.  You’ll find plenty of bookstores to stop in or window shop from, along the way.
