Bookstores in the Netherlands
The American Book Center is a Dutch family-owned company with stores in Amsterdam, The Hague and Louvain/Leuven (Belgium). It was founded when in 1972 a couple of young enthusiastic Americans came to Amsterdam, the city where anybody, anything and everything goes, and decided to open a store with American erotic magazines and book remainders bought for 10 cents a pound dry weight… that was over 30 years ago!
Today the American Book Center has grown into one of the biggest sources of American (and British) language books on continental Europe, with not only a store in Amsterdam but also one in The Hague (which opened in 1976) and one in Leuven, Belgium (opened in 1999).
