Suomalainen Kirjakauppa

I love this bookstore. It’s not overwhelmingly large, the sales staff are surprisingly pleasant and nice to speak with, very helpful. They have a great selection of discount books. If you are coming from abroad: By «Discount» I mean «Not horribly overpriced».
The best part is that they have an amazing paper supplies section in the back and they’re not messing around in that department. As a teacher, I have been able to find anything I need for my classroom here, whether it’s colorful € 1 notebooks, caligraphy pens, colored papers in a variety of hues, or stencils and other things one might normally find in a stationary shop. Their children’s selection is great and again– they always have discounted items in this section. Perfect for your little angels who will undoubtedly and systematically rip the pages out one by one as soon as you turn your back on them ;) Little toys and educational items abound as well.
For a fairly small bookstore, they have a decent selection of English books. Their magazine selection is a huge draw, as I am usually stopping in on my way to visit our dad, who loves his car magazines. They definitely have the biggest selection near Kamppi. I have nothing bad to say about the store. Service is a big deal to me and they come through every time. Selection and price points are great. Location is perfect and so convenient when buying publications to read on long bus rides :)
