    My preferred online book store - note it's linked to geoexpat.com site so it has to be good.

    I've got to jump on the bandwagon here and 5th the recommendation for shopinhk. I've used it a bunch of times- it can be significantly cheaper and faster than either Amazon or local bricks and mortar stores. Also, I think it's run by KIA and he obviously cares about the quality of the operation.

    Amazon still has, unsurprisingly, a slightly more extensive range so I use them when shopinhk doesn't carry what I'm looking for.

    Mission accomplished. The population has been trained well! (And a big thank you also ... as it is obvious from our analytics that more and more GeoExpat folks are now buying from us.)

    JGL - You can always email us the ISBNs on [email protected] and we can source the books for you in most cases even if they're not listed on the site.

    Just to note that it works both ways- we have had people order stuff from overseas for us here in HK as gifts etc.
    Good to know for the festive period fast approaching!

    Yes, and I'll say that the service for shopinhk is great too! Price wise, great as well!
