"From the hippest magazines to the most cerebral journals, this veteran hometown book chain’s packed Spui flagship sets a mighty high bar with its world-class newsstand. Inside, endless nooks and crannies heave with literary, design, and science tomes—meaning that, for sheer breadth, it’s hard to beat. Books come in all languages, though the English, Dutch, and French sections are particularly rich. On the magazine front, too-cool-for-school lifestyle mags like the Paris-based travel icon Holiday nestle alongside the latest indie ‘zines—a nod to the chain’s punkier early days." - Clodagh Kinsella
