Bestsellers Bookstore

I visited the new bookstore at Robinsons Galleria, Bestsellers which is another subsidiary of National Bookstore. Just opened last March, I got curious about this when I read about it in the Philippine Daily Inquirer last weekend. When I arrived there, I was at first impressed with its design: good and friendly colors of orange and white with bits of gray, well arranged rows of books organized by genre and well lighted. As what I always do when I visit bookstores, I checked out the Filipiniana, Computer, Photography and Graphic Design sections and guess what? I was quite disappointed. Such a few selection of books. I was expecting a more varied title but what I found were the usual books and really not comprehensive enough.

If I were to shop for books, I would still prefer the Fully Booked branch at Rockwell that has the widest selection of Photography as well as Graphic Design titles or even at Powerbooks in Greenbelt, nevermind if I haven’t seen any new titles but their selections are still plenty compared to Bestsellers.
