Hello again! I'm wondering if anyone knows the name/address of a foreign language bookstore in Hefei. I tried/failed to locate one this weekend. Specifically, I'm looking to purchase a graduate school test prep book. Maybe I'll have to order it from afar... Any help you could offer would be greatly, great appreciated! Thanks as always!

Xinhua book stores are the biggest in town but there are a few others.

Ahh, thanks Mike! I was looking for a large bookstore to purchase some beginner Chinese books, and just like that I find the answer here :)

Amazon.cn offers what seems to be the best selection of (original) English books in China at very reasonable prices and fast (usually next day) shipping. You can even pay on arrival. Only issue is that everything is in Chinese... If you can't find it there, you can also buy from Amazon.com and have it shipped to China - I've done it several times and never had any problems. (Choose the standard shipping if you don't mind waiting more, costs less and you won't have to pay Chinese import taxes, which you do if you choose the expedited shipping.)
