Teenage Girl Reading at Hay-on-Wye Book Festival
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.

    Book Bazaar

    Posted by mightywease 18 February 2006

    The Book Bazaar is in a lovely little courtyard just off Beyazit Square and near the Grand Bazaar.

    The stalls and shops sell a mixture of different books from tourist guides, textbooks to bestsellers and magazines. There are also some fantastic places to buy prints, pictures and calligraphy.

    The clientele seems to be a mix of students from the nearby university, locals and tourists.
    A great place to wander and browse.

    Please note that all prices are fixed so no haggling.
