Incredible book for Art / Design / Architecture. Possibly the most mesmerizing art and book store I…read morehave been to. It's a nice walk from downtown past the waterways. I arrived about 30 min before close before I had to travel to the next town the following day, so not too much time. I could have spent many wonderful hours here. Till next time!

Sautter + Lackmann is one of my favorite places in Hamburg to spend a few lonely hours. The…read morebookstore makes a focus on art, design and photography books, which range from pocket readers to coffee table editions. The amount of inspiring material in this large bookshop is close to unbelievable; rows and rows, shelves and shelves of books about anything and everything having to do with both historical and modern visual culture. Graphic designers will find their entire bookshelf toolkit here - with books ranging from typography to layouts, corporate identity to portfolios. Illustrators will find hard to find artist portfolios and illustration compilations from all over the world. Photographers will find books ranging from portfolios to mastering the digital darkroom, history of photography to books on every stream of photographic art. Sautter + Lackmann is easily a place to lose yourself in, so make sure you have at least an hour of your free time. They close on weekdays at 19:00, don't take credit cards, and accept EC for purchases over 15eu. Trust me, this is for your own good. If they would have accepted credit cards, I'd have to take up a job there to repay the debt.

I couldn't believe it! But it's true - Herr Krüger is back!!!…read more No, not Freddy - Herr Krüger...! Three month ago he celebrated his last day at the Lotto Toto Shop in the Eppendorfer Weg. He was looking forward to his retirement. But now everything has changed, he is back in town - thank heaven! So, I buy my newspaper only at Krügers' Shop.

I am rating that bookshop depending on its english books…read more Well to be honest ... if you cant read german, or just want to buy an english book, then this bookshop shouldnt be ur sole option. they have excatly 10 english books... these are the books of their "top 10" . Their top 10 is also a bit out of date, since i have read all 10 books at least a year ago... I think id stick to thalia or just order online from amazon Otherwise they sell a lot of german books, german magazines, postcards, chocolate, drinks... So if ur looking for english books/magazines save yourself the trip, otherwise... you might find something there

Basically, a British corner shop removed from any small town in the UK and transplanted into…read moreHamburg. Pretty bloody essential, as one could go mad here having to drink German 'tea'. You can also pick up most of the ingredients for a full English breakfast, real crisps, and....wait for it... bitter! Yes indeed, for a paltry EUR3.60 you can savour a bottle of Theakston's Old Peculiar, a Tim Taylor's Landlord, or a Moorhouses' Old Speckled Hen. Makes living in Germany seem not half as bad really...

There's nothing like it anywhere in Hamburg: Robert Berridge's used bookshop selling only English…read morebooks. Mr. Berridge himself reminds me of a hobbit, and if hobbits were capable of living in complete chaos, they'd feel right at home in this shop. Overfilled, dusty and musty, the cheap (and mostly dangerously leaning) shelves are packed in no particular order with used books in English, in wildly varying states of decomposition. However, despite the haphazard state of his shelves, Mr. Berridge has surprised me time and time again by laying his hand on the book I'm looking for within seconds. If the shop were slightly cleaner and more organised, it'd get a five, but it's simply the only place to go for a large selection in Hamburg, so a three will have to do. As for the attached "English Foods" shop, I can't really judge. I've never been impressed enough with English cuisine to bother going in it, but I guess it'd be a comfort for poms over from the island.
