Tbilisi is a great place for book lovers. There are a few good Georgian and English bookstores, where you can find a range of bestsellers, non-fiction, and Caucasus literature.
Prospero’s Bookshop
Prospero’s Bookshop is the oldest Independent bookstore and coffee shop located in Tbilisi Georgia, offering Caucasus's largest collection of English books and freshly roasted coffee.
They have a wide range of genres you can choose from. Tucked behind Rustaveli Avenue, the bookshop and the cafe are situated in a small courtyard creating a perfect, relaxing atmosphere to have a nice coffee, a piece of cake, and a good book to spend your free afternoon.
PARNASSUS BOOKS
This is a great bookstore with a large range of English books. It's nice for a browse and is located just off a street with excellent cafes. So pick up a book and find a comfy place to sit and read for a couple of hours!
Address: 22 Ilia Chavcahvadze Avenue
Rare Books
This shop is overflowing with stacks of books of all genres and languages. If you’re like me and get warm fuzzies just from being around large collections of books you’ll get all kinds of good vibes in this place. There are lots of collectors’ items as well as a second hand English section. The books in the English section are quite old but it’s worth a browse.
Address: 77 Davit Aghmashenebeli Ave, Tbilisi
THE BOOK MARKETS
Along Rustavali Avenue you’ll find plenty of street vendors who have set up shop with a range of old books. Most of them are in Russian or Georgian but you might find the odd English book. All the same, they are nice to wander through and some of them sell beautiful maps and postcards.
