Amsterdam typography?
Going to be in Amsterdam on business in a few weeks and I'm interested in any typographic book dealers, libraries with typographic resources, and stores with a good selection of bow ties and / or socks. Do you have bow ties in Europe? I don't recall seeing any except in England now that I think about it. Typographic bow ties would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath. I've got a few typographic socks and definitely want more.
I'm interested in type specimens, especially any san serif stuff. Any pointers to libraries would be appreciated.

I was sad because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no Bodoni.

George, be sure to visit Nijhof & Lee. They generally have the best selection of typography and design related books. Be sure to ask to see the used and antiquarian stock, which they keep upstairs.

Thanks, John. I've been trolling lists of antiquarian dealers and not finding anything -- most appear to be in Utrecht -- so I missed Nijhof & Lee. So far they're all I've got on my list though.
