OPEN DOOR BOOKSHOP - TRASTEVERE
My personal favorite bookstore in Rome is Open Door Bookshop. You can find it in Trastevere, it's a great place to find English books. There are also German, French, and of course Italian books.

MERCATINO DEL LIBRO - PIAZZA BORGHESE
Located in a cute little piazza, in a great location, this small open-air mercatino (small market in Italian) is a perfect spot specifically to find vintage unique prints. They have a random collection of secondhand books. If you want to grab something different from Rome, to hang in your room, that is the place!
