Hugendubel, Frankfurt Am Main

Hugendubel, the Bavarian book giant, continues to expand its empire. As the centre for the book trade in West Germany, Frankfurt acquired its own Hugendubel megastore some time ago. Spread out over four floors, there's nothing you can't get here. While the place is fairly busy, there are also quiet corners for thumbing and browsing through books. You also don't need to search for long here, as the friendly assistants will always point you in the right direction. The second-hand department has many recent titles. There is also a department for computer software which is especially good for languages, law and other academic areas.
