There are two excellent English bookstores in Florence. Both are set up in pleasant spaces downtown, and offer seating and special events. They have english-speaking staff. These are:

The Paperback Exchange
www.papex.it
Via delle Oche 4R, right behind the duomo.

• just like the title says, you can sell your paperbacks to them for credit towards more books!

McRae Books
www.mcraebooks.com
Via dei Neri 32R, not far from the back of the Uffizi.

Italian stores carrying english books:

Feltrinelli International, a large Italian bookstore chain, has a pretty good selection of recent English paperbacks at their via Cavour location, right by the major bus stop near the Duomo.
