Almost Corner Bookstore

Almost Corner Bookstore Review

Almost Corner Bookstore is a well-loved meeting point for English-speaking residents and visitors to the lively Trastevere district. Owner Dermot O'Connell, from Kilkenny, Ireland, stocks an inviting selection ranging from translated Italian classics to today's latest bestsellers. With a reputation for being able to find anything a customer requests, the shop is a good place to special order books; it has a wonderful selection of obscura if you've got the time to poke through the large selection.

    Dermot, and Anita, are well informed and very helpful. Every visit to Rome has to include a stop at this small bookstore where I inevitably leave with more books to pack going home than I arrived with.
    We were in a local Borders, $100 gift cert in hand, and gave up trying to spend it.
    I commented to my husband, "This huge store has such a paltry inventory and look at our Almost Corner bookshop, so small and so filled with great books".
