Bookstores

Today I took a look at Scandinavia's biggest bookstore: Akademibokhandeln in Mäster Samuelsgatan 28, Stockholm/City. They have got about 125 000 titles in stock (among others a lot of academic books) and of course you can get a tea, a Kanelbulle and a nice place on a sofa inside. If you want you can order a book in their onlinestore and pick it up in one of their subsidiaries.

A very specialised store I visited last week is the Sweden Bookshop in Slottsbacken 10, Stockholm/Gamla Stan. They have got literature about Sweden and/or from Swedish authors only (for example nice pictorials on Swedish design, Swedish novels, Swedish poetry books and many books on Swedish history, culture, society, food, language, landscape, ... and the Swedes)

The Kårbokhandel (studentkår = student union) on the KTH main-campus seems to have mainly books which are compulsory for courses. Unfortunately there is no bookstore atmosphere in this shop but instead you get the books for low prices as they buy them in great quantities (there is no fixed price for books here in Sweden).
