What comes to mind when I think of the American Book Center a pretty average bookshop that does not…read morestand out from the rest, despite them speaking English. I always try to stop in here every once in a blue moon to see if a book will stand out for me to purchase. Once in a while, I get lucky to find a book that strikes my interest. However, most of the time I try to check out other bookstores that have that warm, cozy, and friendly feeling because half of the time I feel they definitely don't got it.

Second Life Music was a great find while I was shopping in Amsterdam. I love going and looking for…read moreold vinyl and cds, especially when I'm out of the country. This place is jammed full of vinyls at a decent price. I feel like you could spend an entire day combing through the racks. The gentleman that works here was really nice and of course offered help along the way. Fortunately, I tend to know what I'm looking for or hopefully stumble upon something I didn't know I needed until I find it. They've got a wide variety of genres and I think there really is something for everyone here. If you're a music lover, it's definitely a great place to spend some time and definitely spend some money, but if you're traveling make sure you make room in your luggage for your finds.

They have a wide range of stock so you will probably find what you're looking for, here!

Great finds, great music, great atmosphere inside... A denifitely-need-to-visit place in Amsterdam! :)
