palmajeank Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Is there a place to buy books in English in Ajijic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcscats Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Yes the Magazine room at LCS has surplus books from the Library for sale. You do not need to be a member to buy books. Money goes to buying new books for Library. We had a bookstore in town but it went out of business a few years ago. Thrift shops have books also. Borrowing books from each other is very popular. Many houses here come with good book collections. You won't have any problem finding books to read. LCS library which you do need to be a member has a very large collection of English books. Books are everywhere especially if you know folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronopio Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Another place to check is in the Wednesday tianguis in Ajijic -- Anita's has a lot of paperback fiction. (Her stall is about halfway down on the right hand side.) Benefits animal rescue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cartero Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 My opinion is you'd be well served to switch to an e-book like kindle or an iPad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bournemouth Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 The charity stores in Riberas del Pilar have lots of books - I think you'll be alright finding stuff to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo1 Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Since getting my Kindle I have access to a greater variety of books than what I've found available at Lakeside to borrow or rent. I can find much of what I read for free on the internet. I have an aversion to paying $8-14US for a download when downloads are very much cheaper to produce than a paperback book and the author is not getting much more of the revenue than before electronic books.

cbviajero Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 My brother and daughter opened library accounts for me in California,now with my Kindle I have free instant access to hundreds of thousands books,it's a fantastic service and It sure is easier than trying to find a decent selection of English language books in Guadalajara where I live.
