Athenaeum nowadays is one of Holland's largest independent bookstores. Athenaeum Booksellers was founded in 1966, opened its unique "Newscentre" in 1969, a branch in Haarlem in 1988 and started a small campus-store in the local city college in 1998. The Amsterdam bookshop on the lively Spui boasts a large stock not only in the literary field but also in various academic fields, such as (classical and modern) languages and the humanities, keeping in frequent contact with staff of both the University of Amsterdam and Amsterdam’s city college. About 40% of their stock is self-imported. Athenaeum is the preferred supplier of books to many Amsterdam-based cultural and academic institutions. Currently it operates in 4 different locations in the city.
