              Aiyoh ... that one gone long long time ago. I know which one you mean. Taken over by an eatery now. If I am not mistaken, it is also a cafe that is canine friendly šŸ˜„

                    If you are refering to Adult's novels & etc, Saint Bookstores offering such books are still around at shopping centres around S'pore. At least 1 is at Lot1 and the other is at Plaza Singapura.

                      Wow....that was ages ago. I know that second-hand bookshop too. Used to pop in to borrow Enid Blyton books like the Famous Five, Secret Seven, Bobsey Twins, Mallory Towers. Then graduated to Mills & Boons books :love: Rental was like 10 cents, and get five cents back on return. Haha...how cheap things were then.

                      There another secondhand bookshop that I sometimes go to nowadays, called San Bookshop. Can be found at some shopping centres like Tampines Mall, Plaza Singapura, etc.

                        Haha, indeed very surprised to find two other forummers here who used to patronise that tiny shop, :celebrate: yes, Enid Blyton, Famous Five .... miss those good old days, so cheap and so good! :love:
