Venice Forum: Bookshops selling english language books in Venice

Also the English Church use to have a place where you could get a book/leave a book....the ones Rosa503 is taking about were great when I lived there...the one neat Teatro Malibran also had free wifi... I also think there was one near Harry's that had new English Titles but I can not remember the name of it...

"Near Harry's Bar" was the Mondadori (run by the Toletta owners in franchising) at the beginning of Salizada San Moise, about a block or two behind San Marco, that alas, is no more. They used to have almost an entire room of English books, but have been closed for almost a year now.

The Marco Polo International near Teatro Malibran currently probably has the largest selection of recent fiction in reasonably priced used books (novels, mysteries, pink romance, a little bit of everything). For Venice-related titles in English, the Libreria Goldoni in Calle dei Fabbri, near Campo San Luca has quite a good selection.

bummer about the one near Harry's.....it has been a while since I was there...thanks for filling in the blanks Iheart....I loved the Marco Polo International...very nice people.....

Where is the bookstore near the ghetto? Thanks

I believe it is called "Old World Books" and it is at the base of the bridge which connects the "Campo del Gheto Vecio" (the smaller, more recent campo) with the "Campo del Gheto Novo" (which is the larger, older, more historical square), on the Gheto Vecio (arriving from the Cannaregio Canal) side (and yes, I do know what Vecio and Novo mean and they are inverted logically but written correctly by me above).
