The American Book Center: "Books in English only" Top 5 Page for this destination Netherlands Shopping Tip by Nathalie_B

Personally, I like to read books and a lot! Of course it is possible to find books in English and other languages here in The Netherlands, but if you're looking for some particular type of books you'll need more than just a local bookstore.
The American Book Center stores are located in 3 cities: The Hague, Amsterdam, and Leuven (Belgium). In general, books in the Netherlands are expensive, you'll pay at least 1,5 times more than you would pay for the same book in the US. But, if you're student and have your valid ID with you, you'll get 10% discount.
In The Hague the second floor has the bargain section where you can find second hand book. It may take you a while looking for what you want but if you're patient enough you can find some real good book for a very low price. Once I managed to find a book by Paul Theroux for only 3 Euro!
