Like I mentioned in my previous book store post, social media can get you to know a lot of things you didn't previously did. I probably would have never visited Eindhoven hadn't I heard that the book store Van Piere was there and was fantastic. I'm not going to lie. This is for sure a … Continue reading Book Stores #7 – Van Piere Eindhoven
Social media is an amazing thing. Once you get sucked into a community you can find things you never looked at before. One of those things is the book store Drvkkerij in Middelburg. I first found them through my bookstagram. And yet I grew up in the same province and even had a 6 month … Continue reading Book Stores #6 – De Drvkkerij Middelburg
You might remember me mentioning Deventer when it comes to the yearly book market in August. It is one of the biggest in Europe with over 800 stands. New books, second-hand books and pretty much all genres. By the time this posts the 2018 market will have just been the Sunday before.

Amsterdam is … Continue reading Book Stores #4 – Waterstones Amsterdam
I remember when this book store was just called Waanders and established in a different street within the centre of Zwolle. While the store wasn't nessecarily small, it didn't have a particular feel to it. I remember it being dark. Nothing really stood out to me and I did not enjoy visiting it. It seems … Continue reading Book Stores #3 – Waanders in de Broeren
Despite ebooks and online shopping there are still plenty of book stores throughout the Netherlands. One of them is Donner in Rotterdam. This book store caught my attention by their young adult facebook account that is rather active. They interact a lot with those that comment on their pictures and status updates. They also did … Continue reading Book Stores #2 – Donner Rotterdam
