While Hong Kong book shopping
You Can Find Almost Any Books from
around the World

I love reading and buying books. Shopping in bookstores has always been one of my favorite past times. I am very fortunate to have been raised in this tiny city which exposed me to all the books from around the world. Any books written in languages other than English, will always be translated into a Chinese version.

If you love reading,you have to check out these bookstores:

1. Page One - It has the largest collections of English books in Hong Kong. Make sure to check out their branch in the Festival Walk Mall.

2. The Commercial Press - It has the largest collections of Chinese books. Of course, it does have English books as well.

3. Cosmos Books Hong Kong - It has the second largest collection of Chinese books with very reasonable price. Yes, it has English books, also.

4. Swindon Books Co., Ltd. - Once upon a time, this bookstore was the largest English bookstore in Hong Kong.

Other than the big bookstores above, always look for smaller book stores on the second floor of most any old buildings in Causeway Bay, Wanchai, Tsim Sha Tsui and Mongkok. There are many "second-floor bookstores" selling mainly Chinese books.

They are not on the ground floor because they are saving money on their rent. The prices of the books and their varieties are much better than the big chain stores.
