Books of almost every subject are on display. The books are not only in Dutch but also English, French, German or even another language. Old prints, pamphlets, posters, documents or periodicals can be found here, too.
If you are looking for a special book, ask the booksellers. They are very experienced book connoisseurs and have more books, prints and documents in stock than is being displayed in their stalls.
