Gift Ideas from Luke
Every year we present you with our Gift Ideas: books, magazines, games or merchandise that we think would make great gifts in the December month.
This year we decided to introduce all our buyers to you at the same time. That way, if you want an expert, you’ll know exactly who to turn to in which store.

What items from the list above do you want to highlight?
“Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink. It has to be because Elvis Costello is one of my favorite artists. (Note: Luke is technically not the Music section buyer in Amsterdam – but he is a musician with an active career spanning we won’t say how many years!)
“Amsterdam by Russell Shorto because it’s almost an adventure story of Amsterdam rather than a history.
“Amsterdam Pub Cats and How to Tell if Your Cat is Plotting to Kill You – either one will do, because willful cats are fun.”
More buyers with their gift ideas will be presented on the blog every day. An overview post can be found here.
