Let us be your personal shoppers!
ABC’s booksellers don’t just sell books: as well as being voracious readers, almost all ABC staff members are personally responsible for buying the books for one or more sections in the stores. That means you’ll always find someone who can put exactly the right book in your hands when you need it. We asked our buyers for their tips for the best gifts for the upcoming holiday season, and they came up with some great ones: new books, classic books, magazines, games, merchandise, and stationery.
Today you’ll find gift ideas for Cooking, Health & Nutrition and Sports as supplied by Simone, Jeroen, Agnes and Martijn.
