The American Book Center

Very beautiful book store they had so many great options. They also have sales on different genres. There is also a cute little cafe on the second floor. I cannot wait to go to Amsterdam again and visit this book store.

The bookstore is one of my favorite places to visit and read books. It has the loveliest small cafe on the first floor and four floors of books to choose from. I believe all of the books are in English, and the staff is always kind and willing to assist. There are also a range of different things available, such as cards, paintings, bookmarks, and so on.

Love this place. It's a multicultural melting pot with staff willing to get out of their way to help you find your titles. I enjoy taking a corner to read through what books i intend to buy. The variety of books at hand is amazing. It's a great escape especially if you're feeling lonely. Makes for a great date idea too :)

You would LOVE this bookstore as much as we did, from the book’s display, which gives you the chance to walk around the place without stoping until you find what you are looking for, to the large variety of books for all kind of people and minds. Very good selection of children’s books. Great place to get also a perfect gift. You can enjoy a nice beverage during your visit in a little cafe on the second floor . Very profesional and friendly service, I’m coming back for sure!

I recently checked out the American Book Center in Amsterdam, and I was really impressed. The three floors have a great selection of books on various topics. It's a fantastic spot for anyone who loves books.

This bookshop is heaven on earth, not only are they having a big variety of interesting topics but also a beautiful little café inside, where you can rest, having a nice coffee while flipping through the pages and enjoy the good athmosphere. The waiter has such a nice attitude, it's a pleasure to be his guest. Will go there definitely again and recommend it to all my friends as it's one of my best memories of Amsterdam).

I love coming here to just stroll around and find inspiration from book covers.

One of my favorite bookshops in town cause they’ve got it all. Vast collection of books in every category, very organized so it’s not hard to find a book without assistant, helpful staff, good cafe and good discounts.

Sometimes I would come for one book but I end up spending more.

One of my favorite bookstores in the Netherlands. Big selection of books with ALL the genres. Classics. Deluxe versions. Hardcover and paperback. The heave it all. Cozy little area with coffee and cake. Definitely worth a visit!

This place is a trap as in, once you enter you don't want to leave anymore and easily can spend a day inside. For a break you go to the cafe inside where a very friendly man offers you teas, cakes.... The shop is huge with an extensive range of book genres and all in a three level beautiful shop.

I haven't stopped by in a while, but am so pleased it's still there. Besides the books and the staff, I also really appreciate the activities that they facilitate and organize. Sign up for the newsletter!
I spent a big part of an election night at the its Treehouse (Voetboogstraat 11), where I've also enjoyed several Thanksgiving dinners.

A very nice bookstore with a huge selection of English books spread over 3 floors. They have good discounts on recent books which are a bit damaged, but it is a great opportunity to grab some of those popular books you've been dying to read for a more affordable price. For reference, I paid 8€/book for "Well Traveled" by Jen DeLuca and "You've Reached Sam" by Dustin Thao. They also have wrapped books for the "Blind date with a book" trend which is so cute. I was so curious about what some of those books were. These are around 13€/book.
They also have a nice selection of board games.

A great place for book lovers. Very courteous and helpful staff. A huge selection of literature in English. A huge selection of board games and various add-ons. A place where you can buy everything for DND games and more. A chic café with delicious coffee and cool baristas.

Friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere. Good selection of English language books. Great sci-fi/fantasy section and manga. Didn't purchase anything so can't comment on prices or comparisons

The American Book Center is one of the few that carry English books the most here. They have wide range of disciplines and many types of books available.

The place was quite spacious with ladders between book racks which looked majestic. I managed to explore to each floor and found some interesting books. It's just lack of sitting place, other than the cafe, so can't really spend longer time here.

The first floor had some interesting novels that I believe won't be found in my home country lol. Next floor has a side full of classic and modern poetry books.

The people are also helpful and informative. Will visit here again on next trip.

Amazing bookstore with super friendly workers.
I bought 3 English language psychology books there.

One of my favorite bookshops in Amsterdam!
Discover a treasure trove of English books at this charming bookshop in Amsterdam. Specializing in fantasy, it's a reader's haven with a cozy in-house café. A must-visit for book lovers.

Nice store stretching over three floors, full of books in English – fiction, YA, non-fiction. A few books are on sale, so it's worth keeping an eye out for the shelves in between that say "Sale". You can also find postcards, magazines and games, plus there's a café (which I haven't tried though). A great place for anyone looking for books in English!

Sadly enough I was so busy browsing the books that I forgot to snap pictures. But this is exactly how I wished all bookstores looked!

Wooden floors, shelving units from floor to ceiling, books of all categories, little place to sit down and enjoy a coffee on the first floor and even a clean bathroom.

Absolutely enchanting.

My favourite book store! Great selection of books, beautiful space to browse as well as sit down and have coffee in and always fairly priced (especially if you get a booklover card which is absolutely worth if if you read at least one book a month).

I get here most of my books. Broad selection of fiction where i always wander. Besides books they also have Manga, spiritual items and boardgames.
