[ UPDATE June 8th, 2015: After seven amazing years in Gamla stan/Old Town, we are now in a bigger shop in Södermalm's SoFo district, on Södermannagatan 22. ]
Located in the Stockholm Old Town, at Lilla Nygtan 11, the bookshop carry pretty much the same range in Stockholm as in the Uppsala shop, except for SF & Fantasy.
You will find the same welcoming atmosphere here, as the Uppsala English Bookshop is famous for: an interior jampacked with exciting books, relaxing chairs and a dedicated staff. We already love this new place in the Old Town of Stockholm and hope you will too!
With the words "that epicist of the female experience, who with scepticism, fire and visionary power has subjected a divided civilisation to scrutiny", Doris Lessing is awarded.

Modern Fiction Book of the Month – March 2025
A sweeping novel about a single house in the woods of New England told through the lives of those who inhabit it across the centuries: young lovers from a Puritan Colony, an English soldier turned apple farmer, a lovelorn painter, a conman, a crime reporter, a stalking panther, a lusty beetle.
Traversing cycles of history, nature, and even literature, North Woods shows the myriad, magical ways in which we’re connected to our environment and to one another, across time, language and space. It is an unforgettable novel about secrets and fates that asks the timeless question: How do we live on, even after we’re gone? // Discuss in the Fiction reading group // Subscribe to the book-of-the-month!
