Help ensure the future of Oslo’s only English-language bookstore
Prismatic Pages is Oslo’s only all-English bookshop. In just over a year and a half of business, our store has quickly become known for its uniquely curated collection of books for all sorts of readers. We pride ourselves on having something for everyone, whether it’s the latest indie bestseller, vintage sci fi, a board book, or a locally made birthday card.
Since opening, we’ve also become a vibrant part of the local community. This isn’t just a cozy store full of fantastic books; it’s a welcoming space to make new friends, meet for book clubs, take art workshops, attend book launches, see concerts, and even go on dates!
But while our first year of business went well, like most small businesses starting out, we had a loss. It wasn't so bad, but we started this operation on a very limited budget, meaning we don’t have much cash in the bank to keep things going when there are lean months.
We are now asking you to help ensure the future of Prismatic Pages.

With your help we can get over the finish line of year two, into year three, and on our way to long-term sustainability. For a detailed breakdown of our financial results from 2024, check out the Prismatic Pages Substack post (here).
This Spleis fundraiser will help us cover the loss from last year and grow into the future.
Your donation will:
- Create a rainy-day buffer fund in case of any unexpected expenses over the next years
- Start an independent publishing company focusing on local authors
- Introduce a monthly fiction book club
- Create and host mini literature festivals
- Provide a wider variety of inventory and more new releases
- Staff to make sure you get the best possible experience – great recommendations, personalized service, gift wrapping, etc.
- And much more!
Help secure Prismatic Pages’ future, ensuring your favorite indie bookshop will be part of Oslo’s cultural landscape for years to come!
