Book lovers of the world might want to know about the Boekhandel Selexyz Dominicanen. Located in the city's old Dominican church - which for years had been used as a place to park your bike - the building has been radically redesigned by Dutch architects Merkx Girod . From the images found on the web you can see that it is a bookshop made in heaven. 
Selexyz Dominicanen is the result of a merge between Maastricht's Bergmans bookshop and the Academische Boekhandel. The name Selexyz indicates that the new bookstore also belongs to the same chain as Selexyz Donner in Rotterdam and Selexyz Broese in Utrecht, among others. One of the most attractive characteristics of Selexyz bookstores is that they (usually) offer a wide selection of books in English... and at first glance, Selexyz Dominicanen did not look disappointing at all in that department! 
To maintain a sense of symmetrical balance in the space, lower tables of best sellers and latest releases have been added to either side, and of course a small cafe at the back for readers to relax and enjoy a hot drink.
