Hibernian. Secondhand English Bookshop, Barcelona

Cozy and quiet place. Reminds me of my childhood home town second hand library.
Thr prices are between 3 €-13€ (from what I seen). I can't complain about the diversity of books, if you really enjoy reading you will definitely find something good.
Most of them are in English, but they have some other languages too.
Just stop by and buy a book. They made my day when I discovered them.

Es una buena librería y prefiero comprar aquí que en Internet, pero hoy he venido de lejos en horario de apertura y simplemente está cerrada. Además suelen tardar mucho en responder emails.

This is a truly fantastic second hand English bookshop, the quantity and variety is second to none and it’s a place I visit fairly frequently. Unfortunately, and this is the only reason Hibernian doesn’t get 5 stars, the gentlemen who owns the place is miserable.

It feels strange that a guy who has chosen to operate a second hand English book shop always seems disappointed by customers. It's as if the chap feels that if his shop really has to be visited, then he’d rather the clientele consist of the type of self-satisfied, puesdo-intellectuals who are never far from a copy of Dostoevsky and always up for a chin wag about sustainable gardening. Ask him for direction or help and suffer through his quiet judgment as he peers over the rim of his glasses and begrudgingly proffers up the tiniest bit of assistance (if any at all).

For the sake of being fair, I will put forward that perhaps the gentlemen is shy. That he doesn’t quite know how best to act with people and that his arrogance acts as a thin veil for his insecurity. Perhaps even, he is an introvert and mustering up the confidence to deal with customers is a real struggle. If this is the case, get over it, dude, you run a shop.

If it weren’t for the fact that it really is a superbly well-stocked bookshop, I’d say, avoid the bother. To the guy who owns the place: cheer up, mate – we’re only after a decent read.

Mi librería favorita. Tienen todos los libros imaginables en inglés a precios increibles. Tambien hay seccion de niños y libros en otros idiomas.
