Speaking of ending the year with a bang: consider this your official notification that we are leaving X! We know, terribly sad and all (not really), but there are plenty of other places you can find us – check them out below. 👇
Massive thanks to all of you who've been reading our tweets for the last FIFTEEN (!) years! 🥰📚 We'll keep seeing you in our stores, of course, and maybe on some other platform. Happy New Year, everyone!
And of course our very own website: abc.nl and blog: blog.abc.nl
Opening hours alert! 📢 Please note that due to New Year's Eve, all three of our stores are closing at 6pm tonight. They're also all closed tomorrow. We look forward to seeing you all again in the new year! 🍾📚
We have a newbie on the scene! Jurgen is the latest bookseller to join the Amsterdam team. His first reading recommendation is the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett - pictured is a sneak peek behind the dust jacket of Paul Kidby's book DESIGNING TERRY PRATCHETT'S DISCWORLD.
We made it, dear booklovers: it's the last Sunday of 2024! One last time, we'd love to know what you are #CurrentlyReading - are you trying to squeeze in a last, quick read before the end of the year? 📖✨
By the way, signed copies are available in our Amsterdam store and will be coming to The Hague next week.
A heartfelt thank you to Aimée de Jongh and everyone who joined us for the interview and book signing yesterday in Amsterdam! 📚✨
New in the review section of the #ABCBlog: THE MIMICKING OF KNOWN SUCCESSES by Malka Older, recommended by our Iris. Check it out: ow.ly/GHFN50UxrS9 @m_older
The end of the year is approaching, and we know that there are many who are eager (desperate? 😉) to finish their reading challenges. Our top tip of the day: thin books! Fewer pages doesn’t mean less to chew on - these reads often pack more punch than their longer counterparts!
Merry Christmas from us to you! 🎄📚✨ We hope you're enjoying chocolate, books, and quality time with loved ones. Please note that our stores are closed today, December 25th. Our The Hague store is also closed tomorrow. We look forward to seeing you again after Christmas!
Bookstore dog Rufus is not bothered by the gift season rush! Just give him an out-of-the-way corner and a few blankets, and he's all sorted. Let's all take this energy into the holidays with us. 🎄😉
Opening hours alert! 📢🎄📚 Tonight is Christmas Eve, and as such, all three of our stores are closing at 6pm today. We'll also be closed tomorrow. Keep an eye on all opening hours on our website: ow.ly/JCKm50E3Oac
Attention all Basgiath War College alumni, get your official swag from our The Hague store!
Opening hours alert! 📢 Both our Amsterdam and The Hague stores have extended hours today, to help you get your last bits and bobs in order for Christmas. 🎅🎁✨ Keep an eye on all our holiday hours on our website: ow.ly/JCKm50E3Oac
