We went to about five bookstores, each having a tiny english second consisting of Lord of the Rings, Mike Moore books, and Tom Clancy Novels.
Furthermore the books cost a ridiculous amount.
Upon searching the internet I found someone who suggested using Amazon.com for computer books… I’ll probably just end up waiting two weeks until we are in England.
Jenn and I are on a quest, to find English language computer books in Barcelona.
The problem: Apparently bookstores here niether stock english books or computer books.

There is at least one fairly good, largish English bookshop in Paris. Across from the Tuileries. It may be a WH Smith.
Mate – The library at PB’s house will fill you up if you don’t find it before then.
I don’t remember finding one in Barcelona. However, there is a chain of department stores slash grocery stores a la Marks and Spencer throughout Spain that sell lots of Harry Potter.
When you get to Madrid you’ll score. There is one on Gran Via near Plaza del Sol. A whole alcove dedicated to (crap) English books.
Wait! There is a great little store in the Barrio Gotica down one of the little alleys that has English books. Really cute. Lots of travel guides.
Buy them on Amazon.co.uk, Frankie!
