Lovely staff - tip; if the book you want is damaged in some way they'll usually give it to you 10% off. I can't say much about the Danish section, since I only read on English, but there is definitely a wide range of selections in the English section - YA books, fantasy, sic-fi, fiction, non-fiction. You name it, they have it and on the off-chance they don't, they'll immediately offer to order it home for you, and you won't have to pay for shipping or anything. Usually an English book is 100kr. Danish books, according to my mum, are averagely priced for Danish books. Amazing amazing place that practically feels like home!

After the fall of Atheneum it's hard to know where to go for books in the inner city. Well,…read morePolitikens Boghandel is a good choice because it has pretty much all the heart desires. Or you can order it. But it has no real personality and takes no stand on what books to have and which ones to just get rid of. Yes. I am a snob. Very much so when it comes to literature, and I love a bookstore that doesn't sell the supermarket bestsellers, but makes a point to highlight the new talents and old classics. Politikens Boghandel is not that place.

Thiemers Magasin is so far my favorite book store in Copenhagen. It has a cool selection of quality…read moreliterature in both Danish and English. A nice mix of both Nordic and more international authors. You can also buy a cup of coffee and chill out by the window. The owner/shop keeper is a very nice woman with excellent book tips, seems like she's read them all. Everything she has recommended for me has so far been very interesting and to my liking, the favorite being a selection of horror short stories. This is actually a very good place to get interesting short story collections, if you are like me and like to sometimes finish a story over dinner rather than read the same book for a longer period. Thiemers magasin is the perfect place to get your next read, some tips about literature that might suit your taste or just to browse for gifts. The prices seem fair. They also host readings and small literature related events.
