“THAT BOOKSTORE BY THE CORNER.”

If you are reading this, we thank you.

Our humble beginnings date back to 1988, at the ground floor corner of Bras Basah Complex, which is commonly known to locals as the Book City. Having started off as a bookstore touting both English and Chinese books for sale and rental, our journeys eventually brought us to where we are today; a second-hand specialist.

The idea of new books being discarded and scrapped spurred us to take that extra step towards a more sustainable future. Granted, it’s not easy work, but seeing the look of excitement on our patrons’ faces upon finding what they want makes it worth it.

Being part of many a Singaporean’s childhood memories, we are now also part of their childrens’. It is in the comfort of knowing this that we keep on trying. We hope that in times of doubt, our books can some bring clarity in life.
