bookstores

You may be able to find English language books in Santiago. Though I doubt you will find what you desire. You will spend much time and fuel passing from one bookstore to another looking for your title. What you will find is a new experience in the country and/or frustration. An alternate solution to your situation is to get an EPS account or similar ( a mail & package express service ) for about 200 pesos. Then order your books online from www.amazon.com or a similar vendor and have the books sent to the express company for forwarding to you. An added benefit is a new Dominican law exempts books from taxes and you get what you want without having to travel the country and the shipping costs will be far less than gas money spent in a search.

Note: I checked and Amazon.com does have I Ching titles

Check out http://change7.com for the Wilhelm translation of the I Ching.

In Santiago you can go to Theasaurus in Plaza International. They have the largest selection of english titles in the city, AT LEAST a whole 100 books there.

You can also try Supermercado Nacionale, on the left hand side near the entrance is their bookstore (upstairs). They probably only have 10% of the stock of Theasaurus, or around 10 english books.

So if you're unable to locate your book among the approx 110 english titles available in Santiago, you may want to go to Amazon as suggested by PJT. Also try http://addall.com for the best deals on used books.

P.S. I have bought approximately 350 books from the US via internet and shipped through Business Mail in my 2 years in the DR.
