Anglia
This is one of Moscow’s oldest English-language bookshops, carrying an impressive selection of contemporary literature and reference books. If you are not up for Anna Karenina in Russian, this is also a good place to pick up your English translation. The sale of used books benefits a local children’s charity.

Biblio-Globus
Moscow’s favourite bookshop is huge, with lots of reference and souvenir books on language, art and history, and a good selection of maps and travel guides. Just to prove that Russia’s consumer culture can keep up with the best of them, this old-school bookshop now has a coffee shop on the ground floor.

Shakespeare & Co
This tiny store occupies cramped quarters in the basement of an apartment block, giving it an old-school, underground, used-bookstore feel. It is, in fact, the only store with a decent selection of used books, offering a welcome change to the standard English classics that most Russian bookstores carry.

Bookberry
A slick new chain that includes not only an enormous bookstore, but also a café, a la Barnes & Noble. Bookberry undoubtedly carries the city's best selection of guidebooks and maps, not to mention a host of magazines, reference books and foreign language literature.
