The best bookshops Caraïbes

This independent general bookstore, which has also opened in French Guiana, is one of the most popular places for families in Martinique. It offers a varied selection of novels, essays, and children's books… Its great specialty remains comics and Japanese manga. The bookstore welcomes you in a spacious shop with more than 13,000 books referenced. On the first floor, Kazajeux is dedicated to board and strategy games for adults, teenagers, and children with more than 600 references.

Located in the heart of the colonial district, this bookshop specializes in books on Dominican culture, history and the arts... Beautiful books. In 2023, the bookshop celebrated its 55th anniversary, an occasion to celebrate and bring out books from yesteryear. A pleasant visit to discover Dominican authors, as well as local history and cookery books - which could make great gifts for Spanish-speaking friends! A real institution in the capital, a pleasant break for bibliophiles of all kinds.

A dynamic team that will help you in your research. Rich choice of books in general literature, Caribbean, books for youth, comic strips and tourist articles (IGN maps, guides, DVD tourism, cuisine of islands, fauna and flora).

Created in January 2005, the association RSP (Respecter Soigner Protéger/Respect Care for Protect) has made the animal welfare its main fight. Their second-hand bookshop is nice and all the proceeds from the sales finance food for the animals taken in by the RSP kennel. If you are in need of reading during your stay, this bookstore offers a wide selection of thrillers, novels, essays and even children's books. Note that every 2^nd Sunday of the month, RSP organizes a garage sale from 9am to 1pm on the lawns of the Domaine.

A relatively large choice of books on the city and country.

Numerous literary and artistic posters and magazines (Casa de las Américas, Opus Habana, Subir, Umbral, Extramural, Conjunto, Dieresis…).

The group of West Indian bookstores, which has been present in the cultural and educational landscape in Guadeloupe and Martinique for decades, has become the French brand Cultura, which is already well established in France with nearly one hundred stores. For this occasion, its sales space has been increased with an offer of cultural products and services with a wider concept composed of new universes but also of leisure with notably a digital infrastructure. The aim is to preserve the store's own identity.

New to the island, the leading book and stationery store offers a wide range of literature, fine books, comics, tourism and school books, as well as a highly developed creative leisure section (educational games, office supplies, stationery…). Book-related activities (book signings and meetings with authors), as well as contests and creative workshops, are regularly offered. A new shop which wonderfully completes the cultural offer already present in Martinique.
