Everything ships from our own shelves
Every book on this site is a brand-new copy out of our own inventory in the Netherlands. We don't deal in second-hand: what lands in your hands is unread, unmarked and fresh from the publisher. We're a small operation — orders are packed by the same people who chose what's on the shelf. If you're looking for something we don't carry, we can usually source it on request.
You can find us elsewhere — but here is best
Karmic Books also sells across European marketplaces, but this storefront is the only place where you buy directly from us. It means fewer intermediaries, better margins for a small shop, and a real person on the other end of your email.
“A bookshop is one of the few places where you can still be surprised by something nobody targeted at you.”
