Where -- if possible-- int he DR is an English Language bookstore and/or a bookstore with a decent English section. I don't mind being an expatriate and speaking Spanish, but I DO like my English books. Do I have to fly to San Juan to go to Borders, or can I stay incountry and get my books? Any Christian bookstores?

Not sure where you are but Bill's books in Cabarate has English books. They are open Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I think from 3 PM til 6 PM. But may start opening at 2 PM. The store is located on the main road, next to the new Hotel still under construction.

Not a book store per say...more of a "library"-type concept.


Not sure where you are located, but in Costambar...on the main road left hand side just down from the colmado.
You enter, what I believe, is the Costambar security building, (it is the first "office" in a series of ones, which include a pharmacie). Just walk through the building to the back room.

There are quite a few books, all done up in alphabetical order. The idea is to bring some of your own ones and leave them off in exchange for some of the ones there. They are mostly in English, but there is a small section of German books as well.

Hopefully this is still there...does anyone know?
