English books The Colombo-Americano center in Medellin has an English books store and I would guess there's a Colombo-Americano or simular English language school in Bogota. It may be difficult to find the variety of English language books that available in the US, though.

Dito as to Liberia Nacional They definitely have books in English....the collection varies from store to store. They have newspapers too. It's a good book store to go to anyway if you have not been there. There are some great Pictorals of every aspect of Colombia...you will never find these pictorals outside of Colombia.I bought this huge one of Bogota. I show it to people in Chicago, and it is a hit and of course people can't believe how beautiful and modern Bogota is.

AND

Oma Cafe has some English publicaions as well.

Lars That Libreria Francesa doesn't exist anymore, I know for sure cos I shop in the Carulla.
Try "El centro cultural del libro" it's a mall full of book stores in Calle 16 con 8va, just down 7th. There's one little shop that sells used book in good conditions. Dunno the name though
