7th Street Books
7th Street Books Review
The affable owners of 7th Street Books make this store the place to stop in and see what's going on in the expat community. It has the city's best selection of books in English and is also strong on Latin America and tropical ecology.

gamar, from Lebanon
i lived and worked in Costa Rica for about 9 months... and when i was about to leave, I discovered 7th street books while walking around central San Jose. It was such a shame not be have discovered it earlier.. because this little shop is like a book heaven.. i grabbed as many novels as i could since they were displayed in a super organized manner
