Hello everyone!

I’m leaving Stockholm for Amsterdam and Antwerpen in late November and I was wondering if somebody could help me with site propositions (typography related of course), anything from bookstores to cemeteries. All suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

If you’re going to Amsterdam, you should definately go to Nijhof & Lee bookshop at Staalstraat 13a. You can also go and visit Ewald Spieker (just around the corner from the bookshop) at his Typogallery (if he is in). A very kind man who always has time for a chat.

Best,
Mark

New location & reading room. Frequent exhibitions.
