There is a lovely little bookstore in the city of Basel called Pep + No Name. The book shop is also a photo gallery and it is located in the older part of town. The book shop is a great place to go to find all those books you have been looking for while at the same time getting a great CD. The Pep + No Name is one of the only book stores in the city to have a music section available.
The book shop is located very near many other great spots in the city that you should visit while there. The shop is open from Mondays through Saturdays so most any day is a good day to stop in and look around. When you get tired of going around and shopping, you can stop in at any of the great restaurants in the area to get a great bite to eat.
