Just starting to learn how to make a website, hence please excuse the broken links and poor layout.

With that having been said, I have complied a list of bookshops, thier contact details and catalogue searches.

Comments, advice, feedback, more sources etc. welcome.

Do you also want decent, secondhand bookshops (of which sadly there are too few in HK)? If so then you can add Flow, Lyndhurst Terrace, Central. It is just under the escalator opposite the 'gourmet hotdog' shop.

An English chap runs The Chapter House, in the alley at the back of Stanley Market. That is another good secondhand bookshop, though the owner can be a bit erratic when it comes to opening hours. If you find it shut just pop down to one of the pubs along the high street and ask for Sean; he'll come and open it up for you.

Another good one, in Sai Kung, is Leisure Books. It is just around the corner from Macdonald's. They have a large number of classics, textbooks, and modern fiction.

Many thanks, I shall add those and fix the hyper links shortly.

There is a great second hand school book shop in Sai Wan Ho. Alas I don't have the address handy atm.

Feel free to forward more useful links.

Yes, the one is Sai Wan Ho along the main road is okay, though a little small.

And don't forget 'Nick the Book' on Lamma!

I forget the name of it right now, but there is, or at least used to be, also a nice little secondhand bookshop in Mui Wo, on Lantau, just a few minutes walk from the ferry pier, just along from the pizzeria.
