FNAC - F’in Cool!

I like books. And since it was time to buy a new one, I decided to check out the store which had been passing out free paperbacks during the recent Book Fair in the Viveros Gardens. (Free stuff: Marketing that works!)

FNAC is a popular French bookstore chain that has expanded to Spain. It’s actually more of a media store, as I realized immediately upon entering the outlet on Guillem De Castro (location). The facade is pretty nondescript — just a simple black and white sign. I’ve walked by a thousand times, and never noticed it before; I probably just assumed it had something to do with finance.

The store’s interior resembles a train station, with a glass roof spilling light onto 2 floors of books, music, films and electronics. It makes extremely pleasant browsing… and the prices are nice, too.

And what does FNAC stand for? Who knows?! Probably something French.
