At Wham! we don't just sell books and records. We give culture. We give language. We give stories.

For every purchase—whether it's a vinyl record, a novel, a comic book, a keychain, or a vintage piece of jewelry— You get a book in Catalan completely free. Yes, you read that right. And it's not just any book: we have authentic wonders from the best collections like Young Column, Palla's Bullet, and authors who have marked generations.

* PROMOCIÓN VÁLIDA SÓLO PARA COMPRAS EN TIENDA FÍSICA O PEDIDOS ONLINE CON RECOGIDA EN TIENDA. NO VÁLIDA PARA ENVÍOS.

Why do we do it?

Because we believe in the power of reading. Because we champion the Catalan language as a vehicle for culture and emotion. Because we want every customer to take away something more than just a product: an experience, a gesture, an unexpected gift.

Bueno, y también, porque tenemos MUCHOS libros.

🛍️ You won't find this offer on Amazon. Or on Abacus. Ni en Casa del Libro. Only in Wham! Vintage and Retro Store. Because somos librería, somos tienda de discos, somos comunidad. Y porque apostamos por lo local, lo auténtico y lo que deja huella.

🎶 Buying something? We'll give you a free book in Catalan. 📚 Ordering something? We'll send you moving literature.
