You've probably seen the display window with books when you've walked by Trädgårdsgatan sometime in the 21st century or if you've stood and looked towards the yellow house when you were waiting for the bus at the former bus station, where Sara kulturhus is now located.

But those days are over. After 33 years, on March 10, the last chapter of this story was written when the company Antikvariet Nordbok AB was declared bankrupt at the Skellefteå district court.

– It just turned into an expense, says owner Pär Netteltolft.

Antikvariatet Nordbok was founded in 1990 by Lars Hilke in a basement on Furugatan in Norrböle. A few years later, the bookstore moved to Trädgårdsgatan 19 at the former bus station.

In 2016, Lars Hilke sold the business to Pär Netteltoft for one kronor.
