About Läs is More Books

Bookshelf

Läs is More is your one-stop shop for all things related to used English books in Gothenburg. 

​

english: READ

pronounced /lɛːs/, or "less" for you recent Swedish transplants

 

Why is reading "more", you might ask? I think Dr. Seuss said it best when he wrote:

​

'The more that you read,

The more things you will know.

The more that you learn,

The more places you'll go!'

​

And why is it "less"? Because these books are used, it's cheaper than ever to read English books in Gothenburg! With the exception of Children's, Classics, and How-To books, we have fixed rates for pocketbooks (50kr), paperbacks (75kr) and hardcovers (100kr) - some of which are basically brand new, while others are, shall we say, a little more loved (don't worry - they're discounted accordingly!). So don't delay - peruse our site to find your new favorite read today!

About the Owner

Hej! I'm Stephanie Coughlan, a dual American/ Irish citizen who moved to Gothenburg in 2017.

 

I love the city, but as a bookworm with a preference for physical books, I have struggled to find affordable titles in English to sustain one of my favorite hobbies. So after reassessing my life during Covid, I decided to quit my job in finance, go back to school for English literature, and ultimately, open a used English bookstore in Gothenburg.

​

In my free time, I love to read, write, crochet, quilt, travel, and hang out with friends, family, and my cat, Louise. To supplement my income, I also work as a freelance copywriter, so feel free to reach out if you need help with your new or existing business! Or - of course - if you just want to chat about books!
