As for Sterling Books, we actually already have a post about it here on BSG: http://www.bookstoreguide.org/2008/08/sterling-books-brussels.html and we also have a whole bunch of other Brussels bookstores.Sonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14609803039863004020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380701890924698465.post-22559499092507575852010-05-26T08:44:52.959+02:002010-05-26T08:44:52.959+02:00Actually, what is now Waterstone's in Brussels...Actually, what is now Waterstone's in Brussels used to be WH Smith. It was founded in the 1920s, I believe, but was taken over by Waterstone's. I don't know the Paperback House. There is also Sterling Books, in the Rue Fossé aux Loups, between Rue Neuve and Place de la Monnaie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380701890924698465.post-39858703545849371992009-08-06T03:40:50.957+02:002009-08-06T03:40:50.957+02:00Not sure that it's accurate to say Waterstone&...Not sure that it's accurate to say Waterstone's was the first English bookstore in Brussels. When I lived there, through 1997, there were 2 great shops, WH Smith & Sons on the Rue Neuve in the Center, and the Paperback House on Chaussee de Waterloo near the Bascule. Can't find references to either one anymore. Will have to check out Waterstone's next time I'm there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
