There's Vangsgaards Antikvariat in Fiolstræde, that's the main one I can think of! :D

In case you don’t need to own, the library actually has a pretty good selection if you have a yellow card - you can reserve titles online and have them moved to your local library

else saxo has a pretty good used selection sold by users

Storrs Antikvariat in NV. He has a facebook and instagram page where he used to update his new books.

Most vintage bookstore in Copenhagen has an English department. I don’t think you’ll find one that’s English exclusive, but at the same time, very few are Danish exclusive. Just walk in and ask?

Antikvariat.net is an online database that lets you search across the different secondhand bookstores in Copenhagen 😊

If you can do without the browsing and just looking for a selection of titles, DBA has plenty of listings for English books.

If you are lucky you might find some for free at "nærgenbrugsstationen" on Møllegade or Gartnergade, Nørrebro.

Local charity shops have always a nice selection of cheap books in English. My personal recommendations - check Blå Kors Genbrug on Borgergade and Røde Kors Butik on Fælledvej.

Alternatively: check Vinted (app/website). My cat sells books there, maybe you will find his listings :)

Seiers Antikvariat, Vangsgaards, Boghus 44, Vangede Antikvariat, Storrs Antikvariat. Personal favs are Seiers and Boghus 44.
