"Welcome to the best Science Fiction store in Scandinavia! This is one of few shops where you can smell sweat at the same time as you look at a life-sized replica of the Alien. It doesn't matter if you got stuck playing with "the little engineer-kit" as a child at the same time as wearing a brown cardigan, this place is something for everyone to see. It's filled with crazy stuff as well as a huge selection of SF books and magazines. You can find more than 12 different Harry Potter wands(can't decide on which one to get? Go for the Elderwand), Manga figurines bigger than your pet and other stuff you will have a problem explaining on your next Netflix and Chill-moment." - Snask

This was a really, really nice bookshop. I think the most specific once I've ever seen. If you love nerdy or fantasy Stuff like Animes, Magic, Dungeons and Dragons or typical fantasy/Science Fiction books like Star Wars, it will be your perfect shop. The stuff was also really nice and they know a lot of their things. I was so impressed about it.

Excellent collection of printed material. You will find comic books, manga, books, games, cards and posters. You will also find figurines, toys, gadgets, memorabilia and themed clothes. You will not find movies, series or music, as the store does not specialize in those media. The service is friendly. The staff and owners trust visitors to take care of the media. You feel treated with respect at all times. And other patrons are also very respectful of each other's space. If you like science fiction and fantasy, this is the place to go in Stockholm.

Greatest bookstore ever, especially for readers of genre fiction (e.g. horror, sci fi, manga, fantasy, etc.) or fans of tabletop gaming, though they also have tons of recent bestsellers in both Swedish and English, too.

This bookstore was truly exceptional, one of the most unique I've ever visited. It's a haven for enthusiasts of nerdy and fantasy genres, including anime, Magic: The Gathering, Dungeons and Dragons, and classic fantasy/science fiction works like Star Wars. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience. They were very kind to me, assisting in making the perfect selections. If you're passionate about these genres, this shop will likely feel like a second home.

This was a spot recommended to us and I was so pleased with what we found! It's perfect for folks who have a favorite fandom of any kind, and overall a good place to pop into on your way through Stockholm - it's not hard to find something you like, no matter who you are!

I wandered in here out of curiosity and was really impressed by this store! It is much bigger than you expect and had a huge variety of books, toys, merchandise, games etc! I was also pleasantly surprised at the huge variety of English graphic novels! I would defiantly recommend this store to all the comic book geeks out there! I can't comment on service or pricing as I didn't buy anything this time. But I would be hopeful that they are knowledgable on the products being sold

Wandered into this WONDERFUL Mecca to Sci Fi! They have a terrific selection of everything Sci Fi! On the top floor they have a nice selection of game materials plus a table for enthusiasts to meet and play if so desired!? I would offer my generous recommendation to all to visit this fabulous place!

This place is absolutely fantastic! I used to go regularly when I worked in Gamla Stan and had the pleasure of going there this week while I was on vacation. There is a great selection of books in English and the selection in general cannot be beat for those interested in SciFi or fantasy. I go there for the books and am never disappointed with the selection not only of new books but also wonderful books written a number of years back as well. There are also non-book related treasures such as Harry Potter memorabilia and loads of other stuff. I wish this bookstore was in my town! Love love love it!

This may be the most famous bookstore in Sweden, and for good reason. Loving it is the default setting of any human being, and I am no different. Sure, there is a great selection of all things fantasy and sci-fi; books, games, movies, toys, trinkets, posters, t-shirts, what have you, and much of it in English (they have the selected works of Robin Hobb, Patrick Rothfuss, Mark Lawrence and many other authors that you should read everything by, if you haven't already, which I assume you have), but that's not the point. The winning argument for Sci-fi bokhandeln is the service. They will get *anything* for you, for the best price you're likely to find anywhere, and they'll do it with an enthusiastic smile. I dare you to interact with a member of the staff and leave without feeling like you've just made a new friend. P.S. Don't make the mistake of carrying a suitcase into the store. I once went in to look around and accidentally spent SEK 2500 on books alone, just because I had a suitcase to put them in. You judge me now, but you just try it. /G.G.

This is the geekiest store in Stockholm. Whether you're looking for a Warhammer figure, the latest sci fi-novel in English or Swedish, or a Harry Potter wand - this is where you'll find it. They have a huge selection of t-shirt, books, comics, action figures, board games, DVD and Blueray movies and general merchandise from fantasy and sci fi-themed books, movies and tv series. You can find everything from the companion cube cookie jar from Portal to a Lord of the Rings t-shirt and beyond. Apart from the geeky board games they have a small selection of English board games, like Monopoly.

What a neat store, I stumbled across it. Great selection of books and figures. Something for everyone in here. I had trouble leaving, so much to look at. Can't wait to go back :)

A HUGE selection of everything geek related. Need a Harry Potter wand? Not a problem! Searching for Dr. Who gifts for your friends? Drop by. Books? Comics? You name it. Table games? See the upstairs section. This is not one of those hole-in-the-wall places. It's really, really big... You will not regret stopping by.

Johannes H.

Yelp

Extremely bad and rude service. They don't want to help you at all. It's a shame because they have a pretty decent selection of sci-fi books but either way it's waaaaaaay too expensive. If you're that expensive you should at least have some humans working for you instead of people who do anything to put you down. Don't go to this place and don't ever support them.

As an expat that has moved to Sweden, finding books to read was a challenge.. Until I found this store.. ONE of the only reasons for me to make the trek into downtown! Or if I am being forced for other reasons to go in.. A stop at this store is a must! Even my 6 year old loves to go here! Christmas shopping here is a breeze as well, as it has games and books and collectibles! The staff speak Swedish as well as English, and have always been helpful and knowledgeable! On the off chance the book I want is not in stock, they order it for me and it arrives very fast! All in All... a great place!

Sweden for some reason doesn't have the same love of comics and D&D and MtG as the states, so this gets an extra star just for being available in a nice location. If you are looking for science fiction books, you could easily rate this five stars. But I am a nerd in search of other kinds of things as well as science fiction (such as D&D and MtG), which they don't carry.
