If you're traveling in and around the Caucasus area, and suddenly you feel an urge to read a decent book in English, Prospero's is definitely a must. Prospero's Books took its name from the 1991 movie by the same name, which, further bears the name of a character from Shakespeare's play The Tempest.
Some people say that it is a bit difficult to find this bookstore due to its semi-hidden location. And unfortunately, our maps don't work for Tbilisi. Therefore, the instructions follow: Rustaveli Avenue is considered to be the main shopping street. The bookstore is located on the same side of the street as the Georgian Parliament. Look for number '34' which is somewhat hidden and then head down the short tunnel where, at the end of it, you'll find Prospero's Books.
Prospero's indeed is a cult Georgian bookstore known for its extensive history and travel guides selection (focusing mainly on Georgia but it also covers the rest of the world) and fiction selection, of course. It is accompanied by a café, where you can seat yourself either indoors or outdoors, depending on the weather.
