10 Best Shops in Amsterdam | Condé Nast Traveler

"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

A truly independent book store that has a wide variety of magazines, zines, art books, and books! You can easily get lost exploring the multiple rooms, and will likely be leaving with at least one book (and plenty more titles to add to your to be read list). The staff were amazing, and I hope to visit again or find them online!

A charming bookshop with a good variety of books in both Dutch and English. It’s always enjoyable to browse around and get lost in the words of great authors.

Great selection of books and magazines, also from foreign countries such as Japan.

A bookshop were you will get lost, but at least there are a lot of sofas and books to keep you company while you find your way to the door. The interior is the creation of a mad man. Up, down and middle floors all connected together. It has a nice section with discounted books in one of the down levels. Weird books and various items give the shop a more “independent” kind of style.

they take pictures of customers without your consent and later use it on their social media for promotion again without the customers consent. this isn’t how you treat people. they certainly wont see me again. update: they do delete it if you asked them so thats good
