    Second Hand book store in Causeway Bay (specifically)

    Hi there,

    I know the topic has been beaten like a dead horse, and locations like Central and Stanley seem to be well catered for. However, I recall (my wife recalled) that in Eastweek or Next magazine, there was an article about a second hand book store in Causeway Bay. Books could also be exchanged.

    Having thrown the issue away, am now regretting not noting down the name and number.

    Anyone have any idea what the name of the bookshop might be?

    Cheers

    So it's a Chinese-language secondhand bookshop?

    No, English language (both Chinese and English I think)

    Is there any sensible place to SELL second hand English books? I have hundreds taking up space that MrMovingin07 would love me to get rid of... but I don't want to just give them away!

    Have you tried Flow (1/F, 40 Lyndhurst Terrace)?

    BooksMart (Victoria St, Central) will take some kinds of books: index

    And then there's Book Attic (Wan Chai): The Book Attic, English language used books, Hong Kong

    Thanks - will give them a go. Thanks for realising I made an error in my post and meant buy ... I want someone to buy my books off me!

    Just called over to The Book Attic. The landlord will not renew their lease and they will move out by Jan. 20, 2011 to an as-of-yet-determined location.

    I reckon if you head out now you should get there before they move.
