Paperback Exchange, long-running, indie bookstore specialized in new and secondhand titles published in English, has been part of the tapestry of Florentine life since 1979.

What was a small family business has flourished and through the years has gained a reputation as one of the most important independent English-language bookshops in Italy with a vast selection of books, both fiction and non-fiction, from literature classics and general fiction to history and art, to philosophy and biographies, latest releases and used books, and also a wide selection for kids, young readers and young adults.
