Book shopping in Shànghǎi

    Foreign Languages Bookstore

    The days when the selection of titles at these government-sponsored bookstores ran from Dickens to Sherlock Holmes are long gone. There’s now an ever-expanding range of fiction and nonfiction upstairs, as well as an impressive selection of Lonely Planet guides on the ground floor (though they sometimes refuse to stock the China guide). It’s a good place to come for titles and maps on Shànghǎi.

    Shanghai Book Traders

    Small, slim but handy branch of the English bookshop firm backing onto the historical redbrick Xuhui Middle School. Not worth a special trip, but there's a decent range of literature if you're in the area.

    Chaterhouse

    Bookworms greeted the arrival of this chain with a cheer. There’s a good range of new Western fiction and nonfiction, and it also has a strong selection of children’s books and magazines.
