Giulianna G.

Amazing selection but definitely overpriced! Check out the collector's book editions, and sit by the widow to people watch . They also have lots of good mags.

Nicola Bleasby

There's a nice window seat on the 2nd floor in the children's section where you can sit and relax in the sun, should you need to wait ...

Lauren Hannah

The children's section is so good here! Lots of great picture books , including Oliver Jeffers. Young Adult not so great.

Petri

English speaking bookworm's paradise.

krandr

My favorite bookstore ! Beautiful covers, mostly pocketbooks and only in English. And there are always some discounts

Martijn Jansen

Love the non-fiction selection on the top floor and the fact that they also sell some of my favorite 'uk-only' food

Clement H.

Great bookstore ! Great selection of personal development books

Kitt Hod

A fantastic selection of new releases and classic fiction, with a good selection of current works.

Lauren Hannah

You don't get student discount here! If you want to get more out of your money, go to American Book Center (around the corner). They do have stamp cards at Waterstones but those don't save you much.

John Barnham

English books and a nice selection of British confectionery. It's very pricey .

Shaun Weston

Buy expensive Branston Pickle and other British goodies here. Still cheaper than the rip-off 'British goods' shops around Amsterdam.

Annix L.

Discounted books on the last floor and a small British food corner on the ground floor

sanne van loo

Amazing bookstore with English books , games and other nerdie stuff.

Wilbert Pilkington-smythe

Bit expensive , I paid €30 for a book , and it was full of spelling and grammar mistakes. The book was printed in NL, but I still think the publishers could have checked it....and the sellers.

Stephen D

Good selection of both English and Dutch books

Enzo Martinelli

My favourite bookshop in Amsterdam

Alina Netesova

All English books with affordable prices .

Irina Mikheeva

Very posh bookstore , great selection of books and stationery. But overpriced.

Michael Morganson

very friendly helpful staff , but I could not bring myself to buy a book at the prices they charge. They also sell food, but far too expensive compared with other shops in town .

Deniz D.

My second favorite bookstore in town .

Lauren Hannah

Bit overpriced and the atmosphere isn't great. I'd recommend checking out The American Book Center at Spui, just around the corner.

Kate Catling

Huge selection of books

Chaotic organization of books and categories, but I like it. The shop has some nice corridors with shelves filled with books up to the ceiling. Even the stairs are flanked by bookshelves! - Liang

What a fantastic bookstore! Lots of books, plenty of space to walk around or sit and relax, a cafe, a space for author talks, and we noticed a cooking class. A bit of everything, plus friendly staff! - Shaun Weston
