ABC’s Favorite Reads of 2012, part IV
Wednesday, December 19th, 2012
Ready for a new entry in ABC’s Favorite Reads of 2012 series? There will be new titles, old titles, magazines, Dutch books, games, fiction, non fiction, anything and everything we read and liked in 2012. We are as diverse as our individual choices and that is what makes ABC unique!
Part IV features JeroenW, Tom and Lynn. JeroenW is The Hague’s Science Fiction & Fantasy and Film & TV Tie-Ins buyer, and scarily good at accents. Tom is The Hague’s buyer for the Travel, Biography, Science, Poetry, Local Interest, Languages and Spanish Books sections, and whistles while he works. Lynn is ABC’s owner, driving force, and our Ruby Jubilee Girl this year. Without Lynn there would be no ABC, it’s as simple as that!
We would love to hear about your favorite reads of 2012, too. Please mail blog@abc.nl with your choices and a picture of yourself (optional). We will post your list at the beginning of the new year and send you an ABC Gift Certificate (so don’t forget to include your home address with your list!).
Gift Ideas: Science Fiction & Fantasy, Horror, Mysteries/Thrillers

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 Science Fiction & Fantasy, Horror and Mysteries & Thrillers as supplied by JeroenW, Ester and Jouke.
