    It's not limited to just books and stationery; their IT and gadgets section is also up-to-date and impressive. You can even test a few gadget samples before deciding to make a purchase.

    A big bookstore to go for. Sectionalised according to different types of reading materials . It’s a bit sort of hidden as you may missed it while going up the escalator. Do ask any shops staffs and they will be happy to point you to the correct direction. 😁

    Best place for good books and the most popular place for books and stationery items πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘. I went just now to get some stationery on the list and as an extra, I also used E-wallet to pay on the counter.

    Nowadays, there aren't many books to buy here. Prices are exactly the cheapest either. Only thing I buy here is stationery.

    Some Author from Taiwan is here at the Popular book fair in Strait Quay Convention Centre. He covered his face for autograph & photo sessions and so does his assistant, I find it ridiculous for this Taiwanese Author. If you are sick/ill or carry some kind of disease, don't make public appearance because the kids are queuing up to buy your books for autograph and photo session with you. You may transmit your disease to the Malaysian kids. However if you are worry that Penang is not a clean place (your corrupted mind set), don't ever come to Penang or Malaysia and make money out of our kids. Stay in Taiwan, you are safe there, don't humiliate us with your stupid mask.

    My go-to place for stationary and books. Staff are friendly and helpful. Members discounts are quite frequent, so it would be worth it to sign up for their membership.

😐 Beautiful shop. Calm atmosphere. And a great selection of books.
