Nice bookstore with and large selection of books. You can find wherever you need (magazines,…read morenewspapers, comics, art books, travel guides, dvd's, music, and a hug etc..) On Saturdays you can have a nice cup of coffee and a portion of cake while you listen someone playing the piano in the cafeteria! Love it!

I absolutely love this place. It's a really huge place, with tons of books to choose from, no…read morematter your age, including a section for other languages (such as English, Dutch, and Spanish, for example). The staff is very knowledgeable and some obviously adore books as well, so they'll be more than willing to recommend you book depending on your tastes and/or what you're looking for. They also have a whole mini-cafe in the middle of the store, with a grand piano to boot (though I wish they'd have someone to play it more regularly, or perhaps have one of those pianos that plays on its own!). The only thing I have to say against it is how cramped up the entrance is--you have to plaster yourself to the side to let someone else go by, and that while making sure you don't inadvertently make a pile of books fall to the floor (because they're everywhere!). In any case, this is a dangerous store for me to wander into--I could spend my day there, and I'm always bound to leave with more books than I'd originally intended to buy!

I was like, you know what I want to read today? - no what…read more Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus but you know, in German - yeah why not (you pretentious douchebag) So I went out, browsing here and there, Ludwig nowhere to be found. Until I stepped into Nijinski, and I swear to god, an old German edition of Tractatus was the first book I found. (well no, I lied, the first book I saw is some B. Easton Ellis novel but only because you can't miss it, it's so freaking huge and pink and craving for attention.) I also got a cuppa tea, and some other books obviously. I was quite pleased. I guess the only 'bad' thing about this shop is that my school is like, one minute away. Or fifteen seconds if I'm running. I had to run yesterday 'cause I was late for class. Thanks Nijinski!

Great experience to buy or simply browse Taschen's incredible range of books…read more The shop is beautifully designed, and there is a (somewhat hidden) downstairs also with an incredible collection on display. They fit a lot into a small space, and seem to have regular book launches, etc. Staff are multi-lingual (from memory) and location is great, just off Sablon. Well worth a visit - nice big leather sofas to relax on also.

Ahh, a Belgium comic book store. Actually, I discovered this place (and the one next door) as I was…read moreattempting to make my way to a laundromat and made the decision to head back here the next morning before we caught the train to Ghent. Personally, I'm glad I did, but then again since I discovered them there wasn't going to be anything stopping me from coming down here to have a look around. All I can say is that these places literally blow the comic book stores that I am used to completely out of the water namely because the Belgium and French comics seem to be on a completely different level than what you get from America and Japan. However, I am a long time fan of Tintin (and to a lesser extend Asterix), so any comics (or should I say graphic novels) in that style are going to grab my attention.
