👍👍 Bought Kim's Sri Lanka book for a recent trip. The book was very helpful in locating local gem markets, advising on which stones are produced locally including their pricing, and general travel guidance. Also easy to pack and use while travelling. Recommend!

Used book store
👍👍 Beckside Books is a hidden treasure: I'm almost reluctant to share it. It covers two floors so what seems like a tiny shop unfolds to reveal more and more books. It even has a little reading snug upstairs where you can make a drink for a donation.
