Wonderful bookstore! Definitely a recommended stop for any book lover! The owners are super helpful…read moreand knowledgeable. The beautiful old shelves really give the place an old bookstore feel, in the very best sense of the word. I only browse/buy books in English, and their selection is surprisingly good! Maybe the quantity of English books is not quite as extensive as the big chain in town, but the quality of their selection is superior!

After months of Russia books stores, which seem to only carry Classics, trashy romance novels and mysteries, being able to pick up a copy of "To Kill a Mockingbird" for a friend who has never read it was a fun moment of normalcy. The owner is fantastically Swedish, nice, helpful, yet perfectly taciturn, he encourages you to browse quietly, answering questions when asked, but allowing the wonderfulness to speak for itself. I miss it already.

The store is deceptively large (the downstairs section is *huge*) and the selection is SUPERB. In particular, the photography books - including some rather obscure types (such as a big section of photo books about trams/etc., which happens to be one of my passionate interests) - were extraordinary in their breadth. My initial impression of the sales clerks was negative, as they seemed very unfriendly. There were only three of them in evidence in that large store and one of them was at the check-out (on the upper level), so I think that was problematic - as evidenced by the fact that a customer approached me and thought I worked there (that also happened in Oslo - three days ago - and there, too, sales clerks were an endangered species). When we were leaving Hedengrens, one of the originally-unfriendly sales clerks was much friendlier. The other reason why I'm giving four stars instead of five - since the selection certainly merits five stars - is because this store charges more money for books than Akademibokhandeln (the reason why I know that is because I'd made note of some books I wanted to buy when we were at a branch of Akademibokhandeln yesterday, but I wanted to visit larger stores and buy everything all at one time. I'd noted the prices of the books [apropos of nothing, although it turned out to be very fortuitous]. I was really surprised about the pricing differential, because I'd never experienced that in any other country). Anyway; I certainly recommend visiting this store, as it's a real treat to browse there.
