💡 Tips for Visitors

The store accepts both cash and credit cards, though smaller independent bookshops nearby may be cash-only. Visit on weekdays for a quieter browsing experience, as weekends can get crowded with local collectors. While staff may have limited English, the layout is intuitive and English-language books are typically grouped together on designated floors or sections.
