Tel Aviv is an incredible city, full of culture and hidden gems for those who wish to explore. One thing Tel Aviv has long been known for is its incredible selection of independent bookstores. These stores are unique treasures offering an array of both English and Hebrew books ranging from local authors to international bestsellers.
Tailor Made Books, located in the heart of Tel Aviv, specializes in self-empowerment and development books. The store offers customers a personalized experience where each person receives a customized consultation with one of their book consultants to find an ideal book based on their individual needs.
Keter Publishing House is located just outside the center city and specializes in high quality Hebrew literature. Customers can easily peruse through thousands of titles from renowned authors at this store, curated into categories including children’s literature, poetry and more.
The aptly named Big Bookstore offers more than 5,000 English titles ranging from sports journalism to travel guides—all prominently displayed with colorful photographs. Located close to the beachfront promenade in north Tel Aviv, Big Bookstore also operates as a cultural hub where customers can attend author readings or special lectures held regularly at the venue.
Though not quite as big as Big Bookstore–in terms of size–Carmel Market Books distinguishes itself through its cozy atmosphere that encourages patrons to browse leisurely within its circular shelves devoted exclusively to Hebrew literature classics. At Carmel Market Books customers have access not only books but a unique selection vintage magazines dating back decades ago.
These independent bookstores are part art gallery part bookstore unlike any other found throughout the world due their intimate atmosphere and commitment towards providing each customer with a memorable experience that extends beyond merely purchasing books.
