Johan, regarding that Gothenburg bookshop, I think it was somehow connected with the Ellerströms publishing house some twenty years ago, and was rather chic, as Hedengrens in Stockholm still is, and indeed LundeQ is in Uppsala.

I agree that Akademibokhandeln in Stockholm is a bit like a stationery shop, but I did see Jörn Donner giving a talk in the main branch back in October. and bought a theme issue of 00-tal, about Finland-Swedish literature there.

Second-hand bookshops (antikvariat in Swedish) in Stockholm are some of my favourite haunts. Rönnells (it's maybe changed its name) near Stureplan, Alfa just off Drottninggatan, and Ryös on Kungsholmen are good, serious ones. I'm old enough to remember the eccentric Bok-Viktor in Uppsala during the 1980s, and his second-hand bookshop full of enormous dusty stacks of books; also Röda Rummet, which I think still exists. But I don't know any good second-hand bookshops in Gothenburg or Lund, Växjö or Örebro. Visby only has a tiny one, open two-three days a week.
