The shop is great. I wish there was a shop like this in every city. The employer Marc is the best, and he knows so much stuff about magazines I’ve never heard of. Super good at presenting magazines. Could not leave the shop without buying an incredible book on queer culture. 😎 …

Huge place with tones of books of all kinds. Employers were very helpful, and thanks to that, I found what I was searching for. Also, greetings to the cashier lady. She was the cutest!

We already knew that Spui area is a book stores area, but we didn't expect to have Athenaeum just next to The American Book Center. It was so convenient! Athenaeum carries a huge selection of books as well, and the people here are very friendly and helpful to find me the book that I was looking for. Definitely will be back on next trip.
