On the day that we went to Stickerrific, Af also decided to bring me to Amcorp Mall afterwards (maybe because he has been stalking my blog and he knows I'm searching for second-hand books in the city or maybe it is just random nice thoughts of bringing me to places with books).
We went there on a Sunday, we didn't know how packed it was at Amcorp Mall on a Sunday. They have this weekly event where people sell their thrift/preloved/antiques/hobby items there. So many antiques, so many used books, CDs, cassettes, books, collectibles, toys, clothes, everything people collect I guess. The event took up 4 levels, a heaven for collectors.
But I just aimed for books, as expected:
Book shops in Amcorp Mall:
- Books for a Better World, BFBW (G Floor & 2nd Floor)
- Dany Che' Comic (1st Floor) - Huge collection of Western comics
- Bookxcess (level 3) - They have a huge collection of great children's books here.
- And random old booksellers at these weekend booths
I didn't buy any books. It is so hard to find physical books that I really want to keep nowadays :F
