While I was out the other day dodging hail, the weather took a breather long enough for me to notice the window display at the bookstore on the Stadhuisbrug. (Polaris? Selexy & Broese? Something else completely?) Of course, a window display full of cat books would catch my attention. I’m a sucker for cats in windows, whether they’re real or photos. However, I might not have taken a photo of the display if it weren’t for the fact that I had a little moment of pride when I saw this display. It includes the Amsterdam Pub Cats book that I edited!

Can’t go wrong with cats!
Cats ❤ I love them so much, and on Monday I'm getting my second kitty… Crazy cat lady in the making 😀
Yay! The more cats, the merrier!
Lovely…almost as nice as the real shop cats… btw it’s now Broese again…. It nearly stopped existing for a while. It was Bought first by Polaris, then by selexyz, which owned major bookstores all around the country. They were kings of mismanagement though and wnet bankrupt, almost taking a whole bunch of venerable and large bookshops with it. Most shops got enough funds to restart as independent shops again, as did Broese, also going back to it’s original name (or one of them anyway)
Thanks! I knew it had changed names a few times and there had been a bankruptcy case, but wasn’t sure what it had ended up as.
