My comment:

N.V. stands for naamloze vennootschap, in French it would be S.A. or SA (soci�t� anonyme), so STandaard Boekhandel, Plc.

My comment:

N.V. Standaard Boekhandel is the company's registered name - what you can do is tranlate it in brackets as (regular bookshop company)

My references:

Vanaf 1 januari 1967 werden de benaming Standaard Uitgeverij, Standaard Wetenschappelijke Uitgeverij (S.W.U.) en Standaard Educatieve Uitgeverij ingevoerd als afdelingen van de nieuwe N.V. Scriptoria. Vanaf die datum wordt de naam N.V. Standaard Boekhandel nog uitsluitend gebruikt voor boekhandelsaktiviteiten.
