Found an English bookstore in Warsaw! Got the pictured book which I‘ve never heard of before, but seems to be the history of a small, and potentially cursed, Polish town. Also got Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk (I really enjoyed flights)!
I figure getting Polish books in translation in Poland is probably fitting, right?
And although I am at a Costa coffee, which isn‘t a Polish chain, it‘s still exotic enough 😆
BookishMarginalia I agree! Enjoy! 5y
Pruzy @BookishMarginalia Thanks! 5y
Henrik_Madsen I also try to buy some local books when travelling. It adds flavour to the trip! 5y

Pruzy @Henrik_Madsen Most definitely! 5y
Pruzy @Lindy Indeed! 5y
MyNamesParadise I loved Poland when I was there. I remember going to a chain bookstore when I was in Warsaw. It was in this big shopping complex. 5y
Pruzy @MyNamesParadise I‘m guessing the big shopping complex could have been Arkadia (two level, round, not downtown, but relatively close) or Zloty Terrace (in the heart of downtown). I‘m guessing the chain was Empik (which is more of a multimedia chain). Empik didn‘t have any English books when I checked it out 3 years ago. Unless you went to an English bookstore...it used to be in Arkadia, but moved or closed. 5y
MyNamesParadise @Pruzy Zloty Terrace rings a bell! It was in the heart of downtown. It‘s been 5 and a half years since I‘ve been but they had Polish and English books from what I remember. 5y
Pruzy @MyNamesParadise Awesome! I didn‘t have a chance to check that place out in detail this time around, but good to know! 5y
RaimeyGallant Sounds so interesting. 5y
Pruzy @RaimeyGallant So far it‘s great! 5y
