This quiet and cool bookshop, inside and towards the back of jades SA jewelry shop, is a trove of books for the traveler, expat and local. They have a remarkable amount of stock for the small space they occupy, offering used and new books, in English and Spanish, of popular and literary fiction, as well as hits by latino authors like Allende and Garcia Marquez. They have dictionaries for students and travel guides for tourists, as well as books about Guatemala's history and culture. (I found a cookbook here that told me how to make the perfect grilled green onions I ate at La Escudilla!) The bookseller is friendly and speaks a bit of English, and the shelves are neat, organized and dust-free.
