1. Mayersche Köln

"A readers paradise. With 3 stories full of books, this is an absolute delight to visit. On the 3rd floor, you find a coffee shop. It's not just books and magazines but also all you need for school or work like pens and notebooks, agendas etc. To top it all off, they sell all sorts of gimmicks related to some book franchise ls or the city of Cologne. A definite must visit."

The delivery - if necessary - works excellently - not unimportant in Corona times.All hygiene concepts are implemented excellently, there are no uncertainties and fears.Dorothee and her staff (Guido, you pillar!) will hopefully be able to welcome us again in the New Year to special events and author readings."
