where is Shanghai's best foreign language book / magazine shop I have been to a few but I haven't come across anything that has interested me. Anyone got any good one's they know or one you can sit and have a coffee and read a book for a while?
cheers.

Not sure what you mean by foreign. But if it's English books and magazine you are after then Garden Books in Changle Lu near Shanxi Lu is small but might have what you're looking for. And the coffee was good the last time I went.

It's not the best and you can't have a coffee there but there's a pretty decent one on Fuzhou Lu just west of Shan Xi Lu with lots of modern fiction and non-fiction titles.

Garden book store, ChangleLu, at the corner of Shaanxi Lu.
They have a great selection of photo and design books.

I buy my books mostly at Charterhouse bookstore Time square on Huaihai Rd (B1 floor, there is Cityshop there as well).

Ah yes, Charterhouse is pretty good too, but again, no coffee in the store. They do at least have a few armchairs, so I guess you can BYO coffee!

awesome! cheers, will check them all out
