Love Akateeminen! Not just the best bookstore in Finland, but a great overall bookstore!…read more A place, when living in Helsinki, where I was introduced to Paul Auster (my favorite!) and Thomas Pynchon. Akateeminen - a super selection of English books!

The whole store reminded me of some Japanese department stores especially with the stationery parts. I got some washi tape for a friend! I also saw some sale books for like 5 euro which seems pretty cheap especially for Finland! There is also self checkout machines which I appreciate!

Nice food, often great vegetarian options as well. Clean restrooms, the only bummer is that they're unisex.

I was wandering by the Rock Church today and walked into this bookshop.

The front is absolutely beautiful, spacious and yet packed with rare books, signed books, all the books you'd want. It's mostly English but there are also French, German, and Spanish books that I saw. I couldn't see the entire store because there was an international conference on JRR Tolkien's languages going on. As in Elvish etc. But I did get to see the pool table (5 euros an hour), foosball, the snake, a model of Helsinki made of transformer parts, etc. etc. They were very helpful and went back to the warehouse to get a box of books that I wanted. They have programs on every night with concerts, lectures, etc. I highly highly recommend making a stop here!

Not quite what I was expecting but very interesting none-the-less. Soviet and Russian propaganda posters, lots of Russian-language books and postcards, magnets, and definitely unique for seeing all of this here in Finland as opposed to Moscow. Prices seemed fair (capitalism!) and the lady who rang up my purchase was nice enough. [Review 10065 overall, 1650 of 2018.]
