Worst experience in Paris was at this store. They spoke French to my fiancé and everything was fine…read moreuntil they realized I didn't speak French and we were American. I was then told we needed to give them 1 euro to look around. I told them we only had card and they kicked us out. Maybe if the owner wasn't so ignorant he would've learned we had $2000 ready to spend on comics. Regardless, it's their loss and looks like other people reviewing don't recommend supporting this store.

I was so disappointed. Met Christian and he promised to go into his inventory and find some older…read moreBatman comics. He asked me to return in a few days and promised over and over to have something for me. Took half a day from our precious time in Paris to return and he had nothing ...he expected me to send my guy to look through the boxes upstairs since I'm in a wheel chair. On top of this I paid 20 euros for a super boy comic on our first meeting that was I saw in better condition and half that price on eBay. Don't deal with this man ..he talks a good story and doesn't deliver and overcharges.

I've been to a lot of book offs all over Southern California, so when I walked by this one in the…read morecity of lights, I had to go in. It is exactly what you would expect. A very random selection of titles. It is bigger than many and more claustrophobic than the Cali stores. FYI I did not find a section for English language books.

There are two book-offs across the street from each other. One that has Japanese books and music,…read moreand one that has French/English/other languages books and music. However, if you are looking for Japanese versions (with bonus tracks!) of CDs by for English/American/French bands, then you will want to look at the French/English store. Prices are reasonable, although a bit more expensive than other Book-Offs around the world.

Awesome Bandes Desinees (French comics) shop in Paris. I've walked past their shop a few times,…read morewithout actually stopping in until this week. From the outside it looks a bit small, but the shop is actually quite large, with one of the best selections in town. I don't feel they can replace my FLCS (Friendly Local Comics Shop) in the 11eme, but they definitely are my second favorite choice! They also seem to have a huge back catalog of volumes that I haven't seen elsewhere in town. I was surprised to find that they also have full catalogs (all volumes) for most series. Highly recommended.

This is a well merchandised book store specializing in graphic novels for all ages. I loved it…read morebecause it focuses on more literary and artful choices rather than the standard fair Marvel, DC and Manga titles. My French is terrible and I asked the woman behind the counter tons of questions. She was extremely helpful. I left with more than my carry on luggage will allow. Not quite sure how I'll get my haul home. I'll worry about that later. One note: there is no noticeable signage so you'll need to be looking carefully to find it.
