    One of my favourite companies for books, specially that they devote so much for art, the books are collective

    Finally checking off Taschen flagship store on my want-to-go list! The geometry patterned floor tiles give the whole space a strong sense of design. The big tomes are not quite backpack friendly for tourists who drop in and have a long day of walk still ahead, but ordering from the website is an alternative. The location, at a street corner overlooking a plaza which hosts one of the cutest Christmas markets, is neat. I may be a little underwhelmed because I set my expectations too high. After all, Taschen is a perennial presence in every museum store I’ve been to. And I’m an admirer of the founding ambition of Taschen publishing, which is to make previously inhibitively expensive art books affordable and accessible to a wider community. That wider community includes me.

    All lovers of good books, unite! Taschen is not just a shop, Taschen is an institution! Amazing coffee table books, journals and encyclopaedias alike! All to be found here. And they’ll treat you like a queen.

    Amazing store. Organized, plenty of beautiful books, as usual coming from Taschen. Attentive service and good quality. I can't stay less than half an hour there each time I walk in. Worth a visit. I'm sure you'll find a book that will suit you!

    The best customer experience ever in a bookstore, on my experience. They are super kind, explanatory and really patient. Both affordable beautiful books and very special limited editions too. Definitely worth to visit this shop and get a few beautiful books. Tip: At least for some books, they can send it to you in another language edition and wherever you need it.

  • 2/5 Helena S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice shop and great assortment. Two star deduction for being asked as soon as you enter the store "May I help you?" Just annoying and superfluous. It does not make you feel welcome. I am a person who likes to look around for themselves and if I need help or advice, I ask for it. That's why I did not buy anything and left pretty fast. I'm much happier in Mayersche. Nobody bothers you when you lose your time when leafing through. That's where I get all the books. I found it very intrusive and it was really annoying and unpleasant. If a customer who has money comes in, he might not know what he wants right away, or you may be curious what a store that has just been reopened is. You should give the customer time and be rewarded with the fact that the customer always comes back and buys. In addition, in my opinion in every bookstore also Sitzgelegebheiten. Another big drawback. For that I have to deduct another star. Only recommended for people who already know what they want within 5 seconds of entering the store. (Original) Sehr schöner Laden und tolles Sortiment. Zwei Sterne Abzug dafür, dass man schon sobald man den Laden betritt gefragt wird "Darf ich Ihnen helfen?" Einfach nur nervig und überflüssig. Es gibt einem das Gefühl nicht wilkommen zu sein. Ich bin ein Mensch, der sich gerne erst mal selber umschaut und wenn ich Hilfe oder Beratung brauche, frage ich danach. Daher hab ich auch Nichts gekauft und war auch ziemlich schnell weg. Im Mayersche bin ich viel lieber. Keiner stört einen, wenn man sich mal beim Durchblättern verliert. Da bekomme ich alle Bücher. Ich empfand es als sehr aufdringlich und es war richtig nervig und unangenehm. Wenn ein Kunde, der Geld hat reinkommt, weiss er vielleicht nicht sofort, was er will oder man ist neugierig, was das für ein Laden ist, der gerade neu eröffnet wurde. Man sollte dem Kunden Zeit lassen und wird damit belohnt, dass der Kunde immer wieder kommt und kauft. Außerdem gehören meiner Meinung nach in jeden Buchladen auch Sitzgelegebheiten. Ein weiteres großes Manko. Dafür muss ich noch einen Stern abziehen. Nur für Leute zu empfehlen, die innerhalb von 5 Sekunden, nachdem sie den Laden betreten haben bereits wissen, was sie wollen.

    (Translated by Google) Excellent selection of books. The most advisable thing is to wait until they have sales and thus be able to obtain copies for a very reduced price. They also have several unique copies of signed books or with something special that makes them unique. (Original) Excelente selección de libros. Lo más recomendable es esperar a que tengan rebajas y así poder obtener ejemplares por un precio muy reducido. También tienen varios ejemplares únicos de libros firmados o con algo especial que los hace únicos.

    I do not advise against the salon, but the Taschen company. They deceived me for 1.5 months. They lied in e-mails. Only after the intervention of PayPal, they returned 270 Euro. Dramatic customer service, I will never buy anything from Taschen again and I will advise everyone against it.
