The flagship store is located on Hafez Street, and offers customers a comprehensive range of books in all shapes, sizes, and genres. You could easily spend hours nosing around the shelves of Book City – their fancy editions of Hafez, Rumi, and other giants of classical Persian poetry can’t be beaten. Usually stocking some foreign languages books, and works in translation, book lovers from all over the world will feel at home here. The Elahiyeh branch has a nice café on site, too.
