Launching a new project always feels like opening the first page of a book you’ve been waiting to read. Today, I’m excited to introduce books.wham-vintage.com, a dedicated online bookstore offering books in English and other languages — and a natural extension of the cultural world I’ve been building with Wham Music and Vintage Store.
Many of you already know me from Wham: the music shop, the vinyl crates, the vintage treasures, the conversations about bands, books and everything in between. But behind that storefront there has always been more to my story. I come from a family of booksellers, and for over 20 years I’ve worked in the world of computing, always in parallel with the publishing and cultural sectors. Books, technology and culture have shaped my life in equal measure, and this new site brings all of that together.
A New Direction: From Physical Shop to Online & Fairs
As some of you know, I’m currently in the middle of a big transition. My physical shop closes on the 28th of this month, and I’m moving fully into online sales and specialised fairs. It’s a change filled with emotion, but also with purpose. The way people discover and buy culture is evolving, and I’ve chosen to evolve with it.
Books Wham Vintage is part of that evolution: a space designed especially for students, expats and newcomers in Badalona, a community that keeps growing and that often needs access to books in English and other languages — whether for study, work, or simply the pleasure of reading in their own tongue.
A Local Plus: Personal Home Delivery in Badalona
One of the things I’m most proud to offer is a service you won’t find in big online shops:
personal home delivery in Badalona.
If you live in the city, I will bring your books (and vinyl records, if you order from Wham) personally to your door, every day between 20:00 and 21:00 — a time that works far better than the unpredictable schedules of traditional couriers. It’s fast, comfortable, and human. A small detail that makes a big difference.
What You’ll Find Here
- A curated selection of books in English and other languages
- Titles for students, language learners and international residents
- Imports, special editions and hard-to-find books
- A growing catalogue updated regularly
- Blog posts with recommendations, guides, curiosities and more
Thank You for Being Part of This New Journey
Whether you’ve followed me from Wham Music and Vintage Store or you’ve just discovered this new project, thank you for being here. Books Wham Vintage is the beginning of a new chapter — one built on experience, passion and the desire to keep sharing culture in a way that feels close and personal.
I’m looking forward to everything that comes next, and I’m glad to have you along for the ride.
