Chaterhouse
The arrival of this chain in Shanghai was greeted with a cheer by bookworms. There's a good range of new Western fiction and nonfiction, including Lonely Planet titles, and they're particularly strong on children's books. There's a reasonable selection of magazines too. There's another branch on the sixth floor of the Superbrand mall

Duoyunxuan Art Shop
A multistorey traditional-looking building (look for the two enormous calligraphy brushes outside) with an excellent selection of art and calligraphy supplies. The 2nd floor is one of the best places for heavy art books, both international and Chinese, and the 3rd floor houses antiques and some excellent calligraphy and brush-painting galleries. You can get your own chop made here.

Foreign Languages Bookstore
Ignore dire predictions of what can you or can't get here. The days when the selection of titles at these government-sponsored bookstores ran from Dickens to Sherlock Holmes are long gone. Now, there's an ever-expanding range of fiction and nonfiction, as well as an impressive selection of Lonely Planet guides and phrasebooks. It's a good place to come for titles and maps on Shanghai.
