Megabooks Bookshop

The Prague branch is one of several Megabooks stores located throughout Czechia. In overall volume and breadth of material, Megabooks is the leading high-street retailer of foreign-language literature in the country.

For tourist visitors to Prague, Megabooks is a good place to pick up a novel, with a fine selection of fiction available in several languages — look out for the special-offer bookcase, which has some good books at bargain prices.

Megabooks is also a specialist retailer of academic publications, offering a wide range of materials in the fields of medicine, natural sciences and the humanities. It also stocks general learning books such as school textbooks and cookbooks, as well as travel books, maps, atlases and foreign-language dictionaries.

Its children's language-learning books are particularly good. Aimed at Czech families, there are “learn a foreign language” books for English, German, Italian and Spanish, including picture-heavy books for the youngest children.

The main supplier to the Megabooks bookshop is the prestigious British publisher Oxford University Press. There are also titles from Heinle Cengage Learning; the German publishing house Langenscheidt; the French publishers Hachette, Larousse, CLE International and Le Robert; Anaya and Grupo Editorial SM from Spain; and Alma Edizioni, Le Monnier, Bonacci Editore and EdiLingua from Italy.

The Megabooks bookshop is only a medium-sized store, so if they do not stock a particular book, they can either bring it in from one of their other shops or place a special order for it.
