Bright Sun
|
|
Istanbul has
numerous good bookstores where you
can buy English-language books.
Surprisingly, many
English-language books are published
in Turkey (in addition
to lots of Turkish-language books,
and translations into Turkish of
popular English-language books).
My
humorous travel memoir, Turkey:
Bright Sun, Strong Tea,
was published in Istanbul by Homer
Books, and is available in all
of the bookshops mentioned below
for TL16million (YTL16), or about
US$11.
You'll
easily find dozens of books
in English on any aspect
of Turkish life and culture that
may interest you: art, architecture,
cuisine, customs, history, language,
music, religion, theater and society.
