In the bookshop stories! the love for special books and good stories is lived. The shop resembles an art gallery. Every book is appreciated as an individual work of art.

Overcrowded shelves and dusty books can be found in the bookstore stories! in vain. Instead of standing back to back, each book stands with the cover facing front and framed on the wall.

Browsing

The focus of the bookshop is on fiction. Photo books, children's books, cookery books, travel guides and a large selection of English language books are also part of the range of products, which comprises around 7000 titles in the bookshop. The reading room invites you to lose yourself in the numerous stories while you are still here.

Events

The "dinner" takes place at regular intervals. With sandwiches and a glass of wine, the employees of the bookstore present their favourite new publications. The performances serve all genres. The programme of events also includes author readings and lecture series.

CITY AREA PORTRAIT Eimsbüttel & Eppendorf

Here, one can find magnificent old building façades, local and exquisite restaurants as well as fancy boutiques and owner-operated shops. While Eppendorf is rather fancy, one can feel the hanseatic serenity in Eimsbüttel. Both districts offer much green and water and are hence with good reason very popular neighbourhoods in Hamburg.
