Browsing for books
A holiday's ideal for bookworming and, sometimes, reading about your destination really enhances the trip. For those of us who can't afford a holiday or are fresh out of leave, brilliant travel writing can be the next best thing. And what about bookshops? Finding a dusty, secondhand emporium or trendy gallery shop can make your day. We know Been there users are a learned lot so tell us about your favourite travel writing or bookshops, wherever they are. Send a tip about your favourite travel book, or favourite bookshop, to Been there by Monday July 14, and the tip we like best will bag a copy of Time Out's 2008 New York city guide, complete with detailed maps, independent reviews and the inside track on local culture.

    Libros Eterna Cadencia

    Posted by MPenhallow 4 January 2006

    A new and very cool bookstore in the heart of Palermo Hollywood, where most of the local TV,
    radio and film studios are located. Set in a typical Casa Chorizo, this beautiful libreria framed in mahogany bookshelves, offers meals in a quaint setting, with a full bar and cafe set in the back.

    An ample selection of English language books plus local guides make it a perfect stop for
    a quiet moment for a 'cortado' after eating at one of the local eateries or before checking out
    the BA nightlife.

    Librería Norte

    Posted by EamonnMc 24 December 2005

    A small, cluttered, brilliant bookshop. The staff are not pushy but they know about books and like talking about them. An essential visit for anyone who reads Spanish and even more so for anyone interested in Argentine literature.

    Av. Las Heras 2225. Tel +54 (0)11-4807-2039

    In Patagonia

    Posted by UkiGoni 10 August 2005

    Although first published in 1977 and a travel journal rather than a novel, Bruce Chatwin's In Patagonia admirably conveys the uniqueness of the Argentine experience and points you in all the right directions.
