I need to buy Oxford University Press coursebooks.

I live in California, but I will be teaching in Kyrgyzstan.

I have a week to sight see in Istanbul, and I am hoping I can buy the coursebooks en-route.

Can anyone recommend a vendor?

Thanks

Uh, I would call the office in New York and ask them how much to send them to you before you leave.

Remember the weight of your bags will change.

Thanks everyone.

(I want the UK coursebooks - which New York said they can not sell me.)

In Kadikoy, just behind the post office, is a huge book market called Akmar Pasaji. It's quite famous - anyone on the street can direct you there.

They have a very large selection of textbooks there, although it may be difficult to find originals. If you don't mind photocopies, this is THE place in Istanbul to go for textbooks, as well as for most other kinds of second-hand English book.
