Last update: January 11, 2024

1. The Science Fiction Bookstore

"Excellent collection of printed material. You will find comic books, manga, books, games, cards and posters. You will also find figurines, toys, gadgets, memorabilia and themed clothes. You will not find movies, series or music, as the store does not specialize in those media. The service is friendly. The staff and owners trust visitors to take care of the media. You feel treated with respect at all times. And other patrons are also very respectful of each other's space. If you like science fiction and fantasy, this is the place to go in Stockholm."

The woman who served me couldn't have been more helpful and courteous. They've got a great selection of Swedish and English books as well as other bits and pieces. Will drop in again when I return to Stockholm."

4. The English Bookshop

"This bookshop is the exact opposite of those huge bookstores you find in the centre of cities or in shopping malls. None of those stores are bad, if course, but this English Bookshop has a clear vibe of coziness and staff that actually have time to talk to you. If you are a book lover, check this out if you find yourself in Stockholm one day!"

5. Hedengrens Bokhandel

"We stumbled into this book store while passing by in Sturegallerian this Monday morning and were enchanted by their great selection of books that you usually will never find in other book stores like Akademibokhandeln. They have a rich choice of foreign language literature like French, but surprisingly not a single book in Danish... An address worth to retain for future visits to Stockholm"
