I love second hand bookstores. In the past, many can be found around bras basah area and I used to get some of my textbooks from there too . Unfortunately there aren't many shops around anymore and this trade is slowly dying off . Getting books from there not only saved me a lot of money but they always add a tint of nostalgic feel to it. Every books have their own history and its always a treasure hunt whenever I look for books in the shops. The faded pages, the previous owner's watermark, notes written on the pages are things that interests me. Even the paper smell coming from between the battered pages are all statements yearning to be infold.
