Even better...Obregon and Cordoba, about two blocks from Jalapa...there's a block of used book stores. |
As my small supply of English-language books runs out, I've decided to revive this thread and ask for help finding more. Guy, what are the prices like in the used book stores in your neighborhood? Do they have a pretty good selection of titles? |

| I finally made it to the English library in Cuernavaca, after knowing about it for a year. It's in an Anglican church in colonia Delicias and membership is 50 pesos for six months (I think). With that you can borrow books for two weeks at a time. They also have a few for sale. The selection is surprisingly good. Until now I've survived on exchanging books with friends and picking up more on the holidays, but I think I will be going there often. |

I was given a flyer at work today for a Church Bazaar that is happening this Saturday, Dec. 1st. They are selling several things, among them English paperbacks for $15 pesos/each. It begins at 11 a.m.
The flyer also says that there will be:
- traditional British food
- variety of sweets/baked goods
- Christmas decorations
- Raffles
- Childrens toys/games
....and Saint Patrick�s Battalion Pipe Bank!
For those who are interested, the address is:
Montes Escandinavos 405 esq. Sierra Madre
Lomas de Chapultepec |

Hi,
I'm a newbie but not to Mexico. I will be soon taking my TEFL online with Teachers Latin America then going to Mexico City for my internship. Anyways I can take some request for books and bring them when I come. I get books on Half.com and order new ones for next to nothing. Some are like .75 brand new. And I have several I don't read here that will have to go somewhere. Everything is being sold before I move.  Extra play money. PM if anyone is interested I don't mind helping out. |

I just bought a shipment of 3 paperback novels on eBay for only $US 10, total price includes postage (less than 110 pesos)! I could hardly have got them cheaper in a bricks-and-mortar bookstore. If they arrive, I'll be a happy camper!
