Certainly: https://www.boekwinkeltjes.nl/ (not so much a bookstore itself as a database of antiquarian shops and private booksellers). Scroll to the bottom to switch to English

an unexpected gift from an internet friend is most definitely still a eureka moment! lol

Ok! I actually prefer browsing in bookstores and at bookfestivals rather than ordering online myself. But sometimes I give in to impatience (or greed?) and order online 😊

I understand. I just found a Dutch antiquarian website where several booksellers offer this book, prices ranging from 6 to 18 EUR excluding shipping.

@jeroenclemens Ik zit er nog niet, heb me alleen nog aangemeld. Ik verwacht dat de mensen daar zich o.a. bezighouden met de digital commons en dat spreekt me erg aan. Overigens geldt dat ook voor publicspaces.net.
Toch, @marleenstikker en @geertjan ?

(Hope I did not crush the eureka moment in browsing bookstores there)

@fifischwarz @brainpilgrim @bookstodon @pengaled Yes! It's astounding how the altering arrangements of 26 letters can simultaneously elicit an incredible sense of vastness and finitude.

@duanetoops @kansaskrid @brainpilgrim @bookstodon @pengaled So true! Now I almost regret having gotten rid of some titles that bothered me at the time. Fortunately, I still remember them and acknowledge that they, too, shaped me. In the meantime, I'm happy that their place on the shelf is now occupied by books that I cherish.

Same here. Though I've also accumulated rows of unread novels that I do still intend to one day read. They patiently wait, as I often start in other works (not even necessarily new titles, most often recommendations by others)
