Since I’m a graphic designer I'm obviously into books and my favourite bookstore in Amsterdam is Boekie Woekie. This small shop is located in the Nine Streets and they sell nice and special publications that are often hard to find because they are self published or published by small press publishers. If you are into graphic design you should really check it out.

Known for their ceramics and carefully thought-out details. Get ready to spend a small fortune.

My favourite and neighbourhood bookstore. With a good selection of books and a balanced selection of magazines. If possible I buy my books here. I want to support small business. 

Small co-working space in Amsterdam West for 8 creative freelancers. Check the website for possible availability.

A tiny record shop that has all the character you'd want.  They also sell produce out front which gives it even more character.
