    A place where you could fall in love with books again and again! ❤️📚❤️📖 Here is the top 3 things I love about this place ❤️❤️❤️ 1. Love the location, very conveniently placed within Kandy City Center (KCC), a place I never miss to step into when I’m in Kandy. 2. Love the collection of books. The range of topics and selection of books, even the most recent releases are here. There are books for every enthusiast 🤩😇. Even the philosophical computer nerds 🤓 like me have plenty of choices. 3. Love the staff!🥰😍🤗 their love for books and promoting reading is what makes this place special. The manager himself loves to read and always has a few great suggestions up his sleeve. Highly recommend to any book lover and also a great place to wait for your friends who always run late ⏰🤔😉

  • 1/5 Yasotha R. 2 years ago on Google
    I was thoroughly disappointed with the quality of service by the staff. VERY UNFRIENDLY. Even worse was the collection of books. Several books were in such poor state, and they were so dirty and damaged. Most of the books did not have the prices in them. How many times can one ask for the price? Even if I really wanted the book, we'd want to know the price, wouldn't we?

    Their service is good. If you couldn't find the book in that branch, they try their best to find that book in the other branches and help us. If it has in any other branch they will bring it from that branch as soon as possible.

  • 5/5 Eashan S. 1 year ago on Google
    good place. friendly staff. no huge selection when it comes to fictions, novels but got a lot of educational publications.

  • 3/5 Koush 1 year ago on Google
    Great Collection of Buddhism related Singhala language books. Plethora of subjects covered throughout the store is admirable. The lack of Wildlife related books such as Field Guides, I experienced in March 2023 might have something to do with the prevailing economic conditions of the country. And not necessarily limited to this particular store either. So hopefully that'll be solved in a short time

    Excellent customer service. You can even read books anytime you want. It's like a library as well. Lovely place to be

  • 3/5 Nisansala M. 1 year ago on Google
    The place used to be my favourite bookshop in kandy but now it looks crowded, less selection and books are also stacked haphazardly. The staff try to provide some service,but overall I see a downfall of this place. KCC branch is much better.

  • 5/5 muddus88 1 year ago on Google
    I was on a trip through Sri Lanka with a small baggage and found a large size book I wanted to buy but didn't want to carry around for two more weeks. The staff then called the branch in Colombo and they reserved it for me to pick up there after finishing the tour. A truly wonderful service

    I went there to buy a graduation card to a friend. Experience was not that nice. All the books and cards that I saw are faded. Please go to the one in KCC. It looks nice and there are enough space as well.

  • 5/5 Nuwan J. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place. The books were arranged well. So if you looking for a series of books, all the books can be easily find on one rack, in right order
