Dear book lovers,

 

After 25 years, we are concluding our business operations at the end of July 2024. To all who have accompanied us during this time, a heartfelt thank you. It has been a beautiful and exciting journey.

 

We are pleased to announce that the book location under the Helmhaus arcades will continue to exist, reopening in early September under new management and with a fresh concept.
