English Bookstore - Medellin

For those bookworms here, I ran across an English bookstore yesterday by accident. It is located on the 1 level of the San Fernando Plaza in Poblado; inside the Colombo language school. As you go up the escalators, turn left, go past the food court and its on the right hand side. While it does not have a huge range, it has far greater variety than the other book stores here.

bickerss: Thanks for the information. Are you in Medellin now and if not when are you planning to head back there? I'm having my Medellin withdrawals and hope to return very soon.

How are the prices? There is a great English bookstore here in Bogota (Authors), but the prices are outrageous and I cant bring myself to buy anything. I may give in soon though.

They were not as pricy as Authors but still expensive compared to ie the States. I saw out of captivity recently - 100,000 pesos!!

There is a good English only bookstore in Premium Plaza on the 2nd floor. Can't remember the name though.

I have been there to try and find some decent Spanish grammar books. Selection not very good and pricey too. In fact, if one is going to make the effort to search books, better off to go to the Colombo Americano in San Fernando Plaza; pricey but a better selection and less time lost.
