English Books in DenmarkWhat to do on those cold winter evenings?Actually, I love the cold winter evenings and even the cold winter days in Denmark. It is during those times that I find myself sitting in my favorite chair, with a soft blanket over my shoulders and a steaming cup of coffee/glogg/hot chocolate beside me, reading a good book. (Let's face it - there is never much on TV!) I can easily spend an afternoon engrossed in a good book. Now, I personally enjoy fiction and find it easier to get into the lives of fictional characters than those of non- fictional. I do enjoy non-fiction, but it seems to take more concentration and sometimes history is just a bit too depressing. The problem with being an expat is finding English books. I can read Danish, but it is more work than relaxation. I read Danish books when I want to work on my language and reading skills. So when I want to relax, I do so with a book written in English. We often cruise flea markets and bookstores and sales for our books, new or used. English books in Denmark are not cheap -- usually about 100-150 kroner for a new paperback and about 60 kroner for a good used one. That is not to say you can’t find them cheaper – it is just harder. When we travel to the UK or the US, we are always stocking up on books and will also find many books through sites like eBay, eBid, QXL, and Amazon auction sites. A few of the expat clubs (LINK in Copenhagen) have a library with used books and you can also find English books via the libraries. So instead of worrying about the rain, snow and cold winds of winter, pick up a good book and wile away the hours. If you are looking for used books in good condition – mostly modern fiction – check out our book pages below. We always have a selection of books ready for sale or trade. Have a Good Read! Books For SaleWe have decided to move our books to QXL. You can just type in English book and you should get a list of english books available for sale in Denmark. If you wish to buy from us, our seller account is FYI Denmark. QXL is easy to join, yet it is not in English, so you may wish to use google translate to make the site easier to understand. You can type the complete page url into google translate and get a english version back.You can list your items in English and find a new market for your unwanted items. Other outlets for obtaining English books is Amazon, eBay, eBid and the Bla Avis. Remember, if you buy anything within the EU, you do not have to pay import duty on them as you would if buying from outside the EU.
