Bookworld Puerto Banús — Local services in Marbella

I have been a customer of this shop for a very long time, and I have always spent a lot of money in there on my children’s English books every time I have been in. However I will never be setting foot in there ever again. The owner did not like my children looking at the books they wanted to buy and proceeded to follow us around on the prowl. I ended up again buying about 6 more books, as I had promised my children. However it was the last time. They should not sell children’s books if they don’t like children, and in my opinion this shop has had its day. This is why we found the old man owner to be grumpy, very rude, arrogant and off hand. We saw he was trying to teach his daughter the ropes at the till, but to be honest this shop is very overpriced, and living in Marbella you can easily order over Amazon for next to nothing and not pay inflated prices! So a big thumbs down from me, and a good customer lost for him. I will take my money elsewhere! Wouldn’t be surprised if it...

If prices have changed, the tags should be updated so customers know exactly what they’re paying.

I felt a bit misled – especially after checking online and seeing that the price on the tag matched what's still listed there. It left me with a sour taste after what could have been a really...

Great selection of books, super friendly owners. If it's not there, they are able to order the book you are looking for. If you wander in not knowing what to read, you'll definitely walk back out with more than one recommendation. They also have some revision guides, an impressive collection of games and coffee table books for such a tiny shop, cards and an incredible selection of children's and YA books. I love this shop. Well worth a visit whenever...
