  1. 01

    Bolderāja

    A bookshop that serves beer, which is the correct format for a bookshop. Buy the poetry, stay for one, end up staying for three.

    Aristida Briāna iela

  2. 02

    Robert's Books

    English second-hand upstairs, whisky downstairs. Come alone with something to read — this is the best hour of any grey Rīga Sunday.

    Dzirnavu iela 51

  3. 03

    Nice Place Mansards

    Attic bookshop, creaky floor, art books you can't afford. Go on a weekday when it's empty.

    Krišjāņa Barona iela
