A question for our Dutch brethren;
Are there any book stores in Amsterdam that have a good WW2 selection?
Thanks!!

Nobody's looking for books when they are in Amsterdam

Yes, but they only carry books printed on hemp paper so you cannot bring them into the USA.

I had completely forgotten about that aspect of Amsterdam.

If i was visiting Amsterdam, I do not think that i would be able to get any reading done...

I don't live in Amsterdam, but many people seem to like the American Book Center: http://www.abc.nl/index.php

Can't remember how much they have on history (in general) or WW2 (specifically), but it's probably worth checking out.

I would say the ABC as well but aren't sure about their history section as well.

Other than the ABC I'm not familiar with book stores in Amsterdam.

ABC is a must

And right across the Spur is a Waterston's bookshop. But they are not as good as they used to be

Thanks for the info gang!

You couldn't do better than your own Amazon....they seem to have everything.

The New English Bookstore at the Kalverstraat might be a good place to visit. They sell some WWII books for a nice price.
