About Prismatic Pages
Prismatic Pages aims to bring a carefully curated selection of eclectic books to the English-reading community in Oslo. This rotating collection of used and new books spans various genres and interests, ensuring there's something for everyone.
And who's behind it all? It's me, Indigo!
I moved to Oslo first in 2014 from the U.S., and have made this city my home. But the one thing that's missing is a good, English-language bookstore, where you can find something new or used, recommended with confidence.
So, I decided to create what I envisioned.
At my cozy store in Rathkes gate 7b you’ll find books that I can either personally recommend or have it on good authority are worth checking out.
I know together we’re going to find so many new favorite reads.
Books for credit program - currently on hiatus!
Many people ask us where we get our used books, and the answer is mostly from our wonderful customers! We have a donation for credit program where you can bring books to the store, we evaluate them, and if they are ones we can sell then you get 25% in store credit of what we hope to sell them for.
However, the program was so wildly popular that we now have a backlog of several thousand books! We are currently working through those stacks as fast as we can, but that means donations are on pause until further notice.
