The discovery of Slumberland BD World

For those who know the area, Belval has a superb shopping center. Large, bright, lots of restaurants (mostly burgers), even a movie theater and tattoo shop.

However I found that it still lacked a bit of "geekery". Indeed I found that a store for comics, manga, books and other goodies was missing. While thinking about it, even board games were missing here.

Of course, in terms of goodies, video games and consoles, we were served with the large local household appliance store "Saturn". However, reading remained inaccessible for this place, for  young people, academics and all those who like to read illustrated books.

Well a few weeks ago I saw a huge poster on the window of an empty store. It was written that Slumberland was going to land there. Not knowing the name, I went to find out.

Slumberland is a chain of stores notably in Belgium, which sells illustrated books, goodies concerning these books and board games. Before the store even opened I was just waiting to get inside. Well, it's done. My banker will call me soon.

The store is large, beautiful, well decorated and filled with more than meets the eye with illustrated books of all kinds. For languages, it is especially in French and German that we will be served. The number of manga and comics is very large, but so tidy and highlighted that you do not feel attacked at all by the products. The layout is very well done.

I went there with my wife and my children, a specific area dedicated to children. There is a good choice without more. Enough for each of the children to find a book they like. There is also a corner for novels. The books for sale are all more or less sci-fi / heroic-fantasy.

Once again my wife will have found her happiness there. In addition, I discovered the corner dedicated to board games. The choice is diverse and everyone will find what they are looking for. Lots of franchises, lots of games and new stuff that I didn't know existed like SQUADRO. I leave it up to you to research what it is.

For my part, I was looking for a pretty much hyped manga and therefore decided to go to the dedicated area. The choice is very substantial. For those who liked Shaman King, know that a new edition exists. 17 "double volumes". However, I was looking for Blue Lock, a football manga and a very special approach to how to recruit football players and view football. A friend "threatened" me and made me an imperative. So I had to buy it. Well it’s done.

To my great pleasure we can order books. I guess some of you know DUNE. A series of 6 books (for the original work). As I liked the film so much and heard so much about this masterpiece of science fiction novels, I had to find it. Not being their sales target, it was normal not to find this book among their choices. He already had a few novels and we couldn't ask too many of them either. Surprisingly, at Slumberland there is not necessarily a definite no. Not in this case, much to my pleasure.

So they took the trouble to order the entire series for me. I couldn't ask for more, I didn't even really ask for it either.

Service with customer satisfaction at its core. Employees who know their subjects inside out and who can easily enter into a discussion to find out what your areas of interest are and offer you THE illustrated book or novel that is right for you.

We feel wonderful there, in a welcoming atmosphere, with a pleasant arrangement of shelves and a refined decoration. Employees always available and constantly checking that the shelves are tidy, that customers find what they are looking for and who manage to never be intrusive.

Whether the client is 3, 15, 30 or 50, he or she will feel good there. I can only recommend this bookstore which is located in Belval Plaza. I invite you all to take a look, I'm sure you will enjoy it!

In the meantime, have a good game or a good reading!
