Book shopping in Morocco

  1. A

    Librairie Dar El-Bacha

    A fine selection of cookbooks, art books, and postcards, plus stamps to send them and some wonderful antique Moroccan stamps to take to all your philatelist friends back home. Bookshop owner Noureddine Tilsaghani is also a photographer, and you can pick up some of his atmospheric shots of Marrakesh here. There's a fantastic selection of Moroccan literature and poetry in (mostly French) translation.

  2. B

    Librairie Chatr

    Where else can you learn about the medicinal plants of Morocco while waiting in line to buy postcards, office supplies and evocative little etchings of Medina doors? A reliable source for poolside paperbacks and Somerset Maugham classics in English, hiking maps, French and Berber language dictionaries, kids' picture books, and inexpensive cookery books.

    Newstand Marché Municipale

    News junkies can get their fix of major English-language newspapers only a day behind, and fashionistas can take Moroccan décor ideas home with armloads of design magazines.
