FOREIGNERS BEWARE OF POSSIBLE SCAM AT THAT FNAC: On…read moreFebruary 17 2014 I bought for over 200 euro in books and cd. They took my credit card and swiped it...and then ask for the ID. I did not have my passport with me at that time so they would not give me the books and cd I just paid for with my credit card nor reimburse the money on my credit card...They say they would not bill my credit card at the end of the day...well they did bill. I contested the charges but almost one year later I still did not get my 288 dollars back...The manager was unpleasant, unfriendly...and clearly something very dishonest happened. (note that I speak French perfectly so no language barrier there) VOYAGEUR SOYEZ PRUDENT POSSIBLE ESCROQUERIE A LA FNAC Toison d'or et certainement un pauvre service Il a un an je fis pour 210 euros d ;achat à la FNAC de la Toison. APRES avoir encaissé un total de 210 euros via ma carte de crédit, le manager demande une pièce d'identité. Je n'en n'avais pas avec moi à ce moment et repartais ce jour-là pour Etats Unis. Le manager a alors saisi mes achats et refusa de me les donner et refusa EGALEMENT de me rembourser via ma carte de crédit en annulant l'achat. Il me dit qu'il ne "ferait pas suivre la facture sur ma Mastercard ". En fait la FNAC a empoché mes 210 euro, malgré mon opposition via MasterCard. Et bien sûr je n'ai jamais pu récupérer mes livres. Eviter ces endroit impersonnels Allez plutôt chez les libraires Indépendants, plus agréables and moins malhonnêtes. J'étais une cliente fidèle de la FNAC depuis les tout débuts il quasi 20ans...cette malhonnêteté non corrigée et le manque de correction de ce manager fait que j'y retournerai sans doute plus...quelle déception...

Great bookstore for those who want to read in English. The place was recently renovated, so it's…read moregot a great feel to it, with lots of light (perfect to read even the smallest fonts while browsing the shelves). The store's pretty big considering it caters to the English-speaking population, with two floors, and plenty of variety in terms of books. The staff is extremely helpful and will help you find any book you want and even recommend you new ones (to that effect they also have a blog which they regularly update with events, such as book signings, and the latest book recommendations they have: http://waterstonesbru.blogspot.com/). They also have a great rewards card system, which I recommend to anyone who's planning on being a regular customer there. In addition, they have a fun selection of additional tchotchkes towards the entrance/exit, such as notebooks, pens, boardgames, etc, which reminds me of the Barnes and Noble bookstores you find in the US. So if you want to read books in English, don't hesitate to check the place out!

If you're British and home sick, it's the best place in Brussels to feel like home. They welcome…read moreyou with a British accent and sell a few British specialities (e.g. they have Marmite). You'll find a big range of books from novels to history books and travel guides. The place is nice and I love those big stairs in the back, so charming. A bit expensive because they have to import all those books but so nice to find them in a place like this!

That probably shouldn't surprise anybody considering that it happens to be in the heart of Brussels. Anyway, yeah, it's basically books that are mostly in French. Still, I do like the feel of wandering through bookshops, even if they happen to be Foreign language bookshops. Still, as it turns out, there are better places for Belgium books.

My brother and I found this place while looking for Veals and Geeks. It was a please surprise to…read morefind a predominantly French bookstore with a decent collection of English vinyl records. Particularly if you like 70s/80s rock/pop music (genesis, carnes, Alabama, Phil Collins, etc). The store was nicely laid out with both French and English signs so that you knew where to go to find things. It was brightly lite and well organized. I initially started with about 6 records and only purchased two since I do have to fly back home with them. The service was standard, was warmly greeted by the attendant that spoke good English. The records were all between 3 to 15 Euros, which I would to be a good value. I only wish I had more time to explore all the bins for records. While the product was sorted by genre it was not in any other my artist so it was like looking for buried treasured. Please check it out if you are ever in the area!

The shop spans 2 floors and the upstairs area is split into 2 spaces, which seemed only accessible from 2 separate staircases.
