Wow - 40 euro?? Schoolbooks can be soooo expensive - Had to by the two volume Norton Anthology of English Literature for 110,- guilders a volume
Luckily, in my case, my studybooks are ones that I am glad to have anyway, and plan to keep and read.
Oops - my bad - I meant the FIRST floor of course...you'll have to blame it on my age that I'm getting just a teensy bit forgetful, uhh... Kees? No, that wasn't it...Gert?

Hey - did they still have the complete OED in the basement for less that a thousand guilders?? My boyfriend's considering buying it - I keep telling him he's crazy - we don't even have room for it in our little student's flat...but it sure is tempting!

OED? Sorry, I have no idea what that is. And nothing in that store is worth a thousand guilders! Your boyfriend is crazy

Btw, I love the cinemas in Amsterdam too, really atmospheric, dontchathink?
