What are some good bookstores in Geneva? Is it possible to find books by American/English authors, either still in English or translated into French somewhere in the city? There were a few books from the New York Times Bestseller's list which I forgot to purchase before I left home in the States :/ Any ideas appreciated :)

Hi Ashely, here is the book store I go to.
http://www.offtheshelf.ch/en/home/index.shtml
There is another one in old town, by Rive station, but I can't remember the name.
I just left USA as well but managed to buy quite a lot of books before I left so if you're looking for something in particular, let me know. we can always trade books.
Also, there is always amazon.

Ashley, nothing substitutes the real bookstores, the smell of new books, but if you want cheap english books, take a look at this website. Delivery FREE, amazing. Since i found out this, i rarely buy english books "on site":
