In the heart of Amsterdam's book district in a stunning building, designed by renowned Dutch architect H.P. Berlage, our shop has a relaxed ambience, with knowledgeable, book-loving staff. As well as a large range of books we stock Greetings Cards, Stationery & Gifts, British food, Toys & Games, over four floors.

We place great emphasis on personal recommends from our booksellers, which you'll find throughout the store and we currently run a Classic Fiction book group and a Modern Fiction book group.          

Ultimately we want you to enjoy your visit to our shop and leave with the right books for you. We love books, we love reading, and we love helping people find great books to read.
