At the American Book Center, curation is both our strength and our passion. Our shelves reflect a wide and thoughtful selection, with dedicated buyers shaping their own sections while also highlighting titles we believe deserve special attention.

But our love of curation doesn’t stop at our stores.

We also create tailored collections beyond our walls, for events, schools, offices, hotels, private homes, or even something as unique as a luxury yacht (yes, we’ve done that too!). From compact, well-rounded guest room shelves to expansive collections for shared spaces or deeply personal libraries, we’ll work closely with you to build something that fits your vision.

With access to an extensive database of English-language titles from both local and international suppliers — and custom tools that help us plan around your available shelf space — we can design curated collections tailored to your budget and interests. And not just books, either; we also offer literary merchandise, games, magazines, and notebooks, for example. You’ll have the opportunity to review and refine selections before anything is finalized.

If this sounds like something that could be of interest to you or your company, please get in touch through collections@abc.nl and we will happily inform you about the possibilities. Just give us a space, and we’ll fill it with books!
