If you are in the heart of Berlin and want to engage with the bigger questions of history - you’ll find a rather decent selection here, Dussmann’s English Bookstore.

It’s good to see THE NEW ATLANTIC ORDER in two of my favourite bookstores in Berlin - the Georg Büchner Buchladen and the Saint George's English Bookshop, both in the heart of Prenzlauer Berg!
