Where might I find ST books in the Netherlands??? It seems like the entire country is collectively banning Trek as much as they can! I'm especially in need of the Magazine!

The American Bookcenter in either Amsterdam or The Hague is your best choice. The one in Amsterdam is the biggest store of the two.

I used to get my books at Donner in Rotterdam. But they're starting to ban Trek too. Last christmas, I searched for the newest ST Encyclopedia, and they had an entire stack. A few days later, they were sold out. Now, in August, they still don't have it. And that's with all Trek books. The Trek corner is running out, while the nearby Star Wars corner continues growing and growing and growing...... Isn't that discrimination???

From the post Title I thought it was going to be very interesting Posted by Nemesis (Member # 255) on :
I don't know if you have something like it in the Netherlands, but here in Germany i order all startrek-books over Amazon.de! There you pay nearly a 1:2 conversion from US-Dollar to Deutsch Marks. In our normal book shops you have to pay the double of the normal price, just because they include the shipping costs. BTW, is it only my imagination, or does sweden have a lack of startrek? I went there for holiday and was too fast reading my startrek-books, so i went to the local bookshop and found.....only fantasy books! After one week of wandering through all bookshops along the way i finaly found a Sci-Fi-shop in Stockholm! I bought the DS9 Compendium btw. Otherwise i would have ended up reading Harry Potter.... argh!

Oh, I come from Sweden, and believe me, us swedes are generally lacking in star trek appreciation. The only shows we can see are TOS, and season 3 voyager, nothing else!!!

Believe me Star Trek is SEVERELY lacking in this country (Australia) too. And this is an English speaking country!
Star Wars swamps every book store... the only place you'd find Trek would be in a video store (cause TV is 3-4 years behind the video releases) or on TV Voyager only Tuesdays at 11pm! (OK, yeah they are repeating on Pay TV TNG and TOS at reasonable 'prime time' hours...

It may just be NB, but I have a hard time finding Trek stuff here in Canada. Usually all I can find is the newest novels at Coles and The Mag. Some of the movies are rentable at Blockbuster, though. Other than that, there's no toys or anything.

Hm... 'Twould seem there is an Amazon.nl. It's actually under the amazon.co.uk domain, but you can get to it by typing "amazon.nl", and they call it "Amazon.nl".

American Book Store (or American Book Center) is the best choice, and most probably the only one where you can get the Magazine.

Who wants a subscription, anyways? Too expensive if you ask me. I just buy individual issues that i deem interesting.
