Hi All
Anyone know are there any rare book shops in Malta.
Topics would be History Maps Lost City Of Atlantis Old Cat Ruts.
Am over on holidays this Saturday so like to visit few book stores.

Cheers MC

There is a good bookshop opposite the National Museum of Archaeology in Valletta. Not specifically a rare book shop but does sell good books re: History, Archaeology etc. Also, perhaps try in the museum itself?

I often go to auctions of the contents of Maltese townhouses and it is amazing what you can see and find there including old books, magazines, collectables of all sorts and historic articles.

It's always worthwhile just to wander around during the public viewing days.

I'm not sure about bookshops though.

Cheers
Ricky

Look out for 'car boot' sales too. One in Marsalforn this Sunday 16th March.
