This short study narrates the history of three bookstores of Istanbul owned by Turkish Jews, two by Sephardis one by an Ashkenazi, which have disappeared a long time ago. One was involved in publishing and selling Turkish books, one in selling German titles and the last one dealt with rare and antiquarian titles. This book is a reminiscence of a by-gone multicultural Istanbul where Turkish Jews, Sephardi and Ashkenazi, contributed to the cultural life of the city.
