Istanbul has numerous good bookstores where you can buy English-language books.

Surprisingly, many English-language books are published in Turkey (in addition to lots of Turkish-language books, and translations into Turkish of popular English-language books).

My humorous travel memoir, Turkey: Bright Sun, Strong Tea, was published in Istanbul by Homer Books, and is available in all of the bookshops mentioned below for TL16million (YTL16), or about US$11.

You'll easily find dozens of books in English on any aspect of Turkish life and culture that may interest you: art, architecture, cuisine, customs, history, language, music, religion, theater and society.
