scripsi28. Bought at my fave independent bookshop.
Umm. I rarely remember where I buy books. And up until 15 years ago, there were a lot of independent bookstores in Stockholm. But most of them are no more; with one brilliant exception, Science Fiction Bokhandeln (The Science Fiction Bookshop). It started in the early 90’s, selling only SF and fantasy, both new and second hand. And not only books but DVDs and games too. At first, they were a tiny cupboard of a store in Stockholm, but they moved several times, each time to a better and larger location. Today, when most independent bookstores close, you can find them in Gothenburg and Malmo too, as well as online. The place is always packed.
I’ve bought a lot of books there during the years. Several of my Diana Wynne Jones, and almost all of my Sandman comics. Actually, most SF and fantasy bought in the past 25 years have been bought there.
