    First of all, Happy New Year! May the Year of the Rat be a great year for you all!

    For anyone in HK who likes books and artwork, let me tell you about a cute little used bookshop in Central (LKF). It has a colorful, cozy setup with sofa and armchairs, a nice livingroom-feeling to it. Sadly, since it's on the second floor, it's sorta hidden so most people don't even know it's there. Other than books (English), they also sell original paintings and photos, which is displayed all around the shop.

    *ahem* As a matter of fact, I have some of my travel photo prints for sale there, both framed and non-framed... (shameless plug... haha)

    Seriously, I wanna spread the word about the bookshop because I got to know the owner and she's a real cool gal, but due to financial reasons, she may be shutting down the shop by end of next month! It's sad cuz she's put all her time, money, and energy into running the shop which opened a year ago. Since I'm a huge booklover and enjoy browsing in bookstores, I'm gonna miss having a used bookstore in HK that's so cozy and comfortable.

    So for HK book-lovers or art-lovers out there, support a small local business and check out the shop for some quality, discounted books and artwork if you have the chance... before it closes down soon! Thx for reading~

    I hate seeing small stores shut down, especially something that has a lot of heart and soul go into it's design and products.
    Nice of you to do a blog on the matter.

    I'm not much of a used book store type of gal that's why I never borrow books from the library (unless it's for research) or from my friends. I like to be the first one to read the book in my hand. I do hope the owner doesn't have to close her book store down.

    I love used bookstores, but I'm not sure if LKF above two crowded bars is best location to open one up...
