Museum Plantin-Moretus

This charming little bookstore – specialized in new and antiquarian books in the fields of art, architecture, design and photography – is a treasure chest in the heart of Amsterdam with an extremely comprehensive collection of type books. -

I haven't actually visited this museum myself but I hear awesome reports. - Klingspormuseum Offenbach

Erasmus of Rotterdam and Voltaire moved to Basel to have their writing printed here. This is the old type and print shop. They still produce using the original techniques and materials. Make sure to schedule your visit to the museum/workshop when a presentation is taking place.
