Tweedehands bij Scheltema Review

Beautiful bookstore where you can stroll and read. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Good coffee on the 1st floor. There is also a lot with children's books
toys, always handy :)

Very large bookstore where I always manage to find something nice.

Nice shop, lots of choice. However, a nonsensical answer to the question asked.
Too bad, expected better service after all the positive reviews.
Missed opportunity so a missed customer, in this case ...

The feeling upon entering is really fantastic. This place is very different from the rest of Amsterdam. It is very interesting to browse around here.

What a beautiful store! If you come here for 1 book, you will leave with 3. They really have (almost) everything here. You can also sit here to take a sneak peek at the book you may or may not want to buy.

Pleasantly surprised when I visited the top floor with the second hand books. Categorized by writer and by topic.

Large store with a lot of books to choose from. Very friendly staff.

Very well sorted shop with friendly and professional staff

Can spend days in this store, so many floors, lots of place to sit and read, can find something different and interesting every time I go there. Also a nice second hand section on the top floor.

I went there on Saturday and it was absolutely amazing! Not only do they have an impressive amount of books, including a huge selection of foreign language books I was very excited about, the staff is also super friendly! I was surprised there was a second-hand section with even more really good condition books. Also, make sure to check out the view from the top floor!

Great cafe inside with excellent coffee and service

A bookstore where the selection is fantastic, including the service!

Like a bookstore should be. The smell of paper and ink. For each his own !

The escalators are annoying, staff is friendly but they're don't seem to be so helpful if a book is located in another floor, or would ask you to pay for a book downstairs. Someone made a bad decision designing this store, but it's well arranged and nice to wander around if there's any spare time to waste on shelves browsing.

Book ordered .... they were called in ... they only found it not ... still well resolved !!

Beautiful shop with a wide range of books (new and second-hand) and magazines. Pleasant atmosphere. Skilled employees / employees. Who knows, you may find a beautiful book or magazine that you will thoroughly enjoy!

Great bookshop in the middle of Amsterdam. Spread across 4 floors with a cafe also. Good selection of English language books.

A dying breed. Please support them by actually BUYING books there, please!

They have so much books, also second hand and quite some English kids books. For a quick in and out, take the stairs: beautiful glass windows there!

Beautiful bookstore with a wide range. Plenty of sitting areas to quietly read through some books.

Beautiful bookstore. Large rich collection. Also many beautiful ramsj and you can drink coffee.

One of my favorite booksellers to spend a couple of hours browsing books.

It stays! It is the best bookstore in Amsterdam .. The staff always ready to help you and make you feel welcome. Definitely a 10+

Wonderful shop to enjoy a long time. Fun activities such as autograph sessions and reading sessions by authors.

Super large choice of books, wide selection for English books, many books for cheap prices

It's gigantic and always full. Managed to find a book in English for the rest of my holiday in Europe. If you like reading that is definitely a place to visit

Beautiful shop with staff passionate about what they do. Yes you can find any book online but you just have to visit Scheltema. Top case!

Great bookstore with extras. Right in the center, yet quiet

5-storey book store in the middle of Amsterdam. Good selection, I wanted basically to buy much more than I did. Much space, so you can enjoy a more calm environment than you do on the street outside. Also a second hand department.

Excellent bookstore, not as big as it used to be, but still ideal to stroll through and to get inspired, enough spots to relax and enjoy life with books, and good coffee as well.

Very beautiful and large bookshop. For all book lovers

Great store. It is always very nice to be here (hey that rhymes)

The book shop is located on multiple floors in a building in the city center. Offers a wide variety of books, a coffee shop indoors (just coffee, not the other kind you find in Amsterdam) and a lot of seating where you can read for a bit. The staff is really friendly and helpful even yesterday on the last Saturday before Christmas. Can recommend this place to dutch and non dutch as it has a good selection of books in various languages.

Well-stocked bookstore, but I would come more often and stay longer if it wasn't that hot and there wasn't such a pungent coffee smell!

A real bookstore with a large assortment of (cooking) books

I love this place. Many books, space for kids, nice coffee

Scheltema is a beautiful large bookstore in the heart of the city. Scheltema has four floors, including a floor with second-hand books and a coffee corner. You can wander there for hours. I always find it very inspiring. The Scheltema staff are usually friendly and helpful. Scheltema is easily accessible by public transport.

Pleasant store with a very extensive range, great to browse between all those (cooking) books

Awesome. New ramsj, beautiful new books, nice staff and delicious coffee.

Nice shop, quick adequate help and tips, (+ 1 cute woman at the checkout when I knocked something over).

A range of books for everyone for young and old. I've been looking my eyes. Very helpful.

Large sorting ... lift and stairs ... wheelchair friendly..fine staff ... clean toilets freely accessible ...

Traditionally well-stocked,
bookstore with room for public
presentation of new releases and
search, inform and consult
if one as a family or colleagues something
specifically has the eye on!
Topics are legion and the
place in the absolute center
from the city of Dam / Rokin is not too
to miss.

One of the best bookshops left. In the heart of the city. It they don't have it (they will order it) but probably no other book shop will either. They even have a cafe as well. Really good. You have to love sour coffee taste though. Nit acidity but sour ... that nees improvement.

A book paradise. Very dangerous if you are sensitive to impulse purchases.

Best place to get books. Staff very friendly and helpfull! Always worth a visit every time in Amsterdam

Very helpful staff. Excellent bookshop with English books in Amsterdam. Great collection of Engkish classics and also contemporary English literature. Excellent stuff for kids as well.

Atmospheric large bookstore. Wide choice. Nice that you can also browse 2nd hand books and a Ram department. And nice cup of coffee

One of my favorites book shop. You can find everything you need, also the children's corner is ideal for young childrens, with lot of books for all the ages

A mecca for the book lover. Lotus or Booms other magazines.

What a beautiful store. Huge collection. Delicious.

Here I always relax. Large collection and undisturbed strolling and reading.

A true book paradise! Each time a longer stay than intended.

Nice bookstore.
You can find everything you are looking for.

Such a lovely fine bookstore, I always look forward to going here.

Many books, also in English. There is also a cozy cafe.
