Book Store Heerlen

The involvement of Leo Voorpijl was looking into all aspects of the feasibility, paying a great deal of attention to the financing and the real estate. He was kindly supported by a group of literature enthousiasts. The landlord was willing to adjust the rent. Hence, the start up of the book store Van der Velden van Dam received a great welcome in the city. The book market is also lacklustre: it was a demanding exercise to create an adequate powerful footing for this "firebox" for literature in Heerlen.
