I go here to buy books quite frequently, or sometimes just to enjoy the place and skip through some interesting reads. The staff is wonderful and generally knows how to help you with any question! Whatever type of book you're looking for, they have it! Foreign languages, history, kids books, study books, IT books; you name it, they have it!

Beautiful and cozy bookstore full of interesting (American) English books. A lot of choice, also in the non-classical genre. And there is a small coffee corner where delicious Ethiopian coffee is made. Top!

The biggest bookstore of The Netherlands!! Have you ever visited a bookstore which has a yearly event called the food-market! You can taste the food and buy the books to try at home yourself! Every week there is an event happening here, for adults or kids. This bookstore is exceptional and special, and you must put it on your list of must-visit when traveling to Amsterdam!

After so many years living in Vancouver Canada and finally returning with my twin daughters to my Amsterdam for a holiday, Scheltema was one of my favorite stores to visit in Amsterdam. What an amazing bookstore, you can really spend a whole day there. It was one of my highlights of my trip.
They still wrap your book s in beautiful wrapping paper you can pick out yourself. What a treat! And amazing staff and a great coffee place, i was in heaven.

I have never heard of an establishment that really treated a customer so rudely.

My girlfriend had to order a fairly pricey book for her school here. This would supposedly be available, but this turned out to be no longer true after 2 days.
When my girlfriend called to cancel the order, this would happen according to a lady the next day. However, this promise turned out to be meaningless as well, since nothing was canceled after 3 days.
My girlfriend has called Scheltema up to 5 times about this and every one was either taken away or hung up immediately.

This behavior is to be expected from an eight-year-old who would suddenly become the owner of a random candy store, not the largest bookstore in Amsterdam. Really absurd.

Right by the north entrance/exit of the ROKIN metro station, just south of the Dam. Great place to browse. Modern with some period detailing. Good English section as well as English books in the new/remainders and used sections (on the More
