Walking down Shaanxi Road, crossing Changle Road, my eyes noticed a shop sign saying “Garden Books”.
The interesting part is that it didn’t seem to bear any Chinese name. Just Garden Books. In a city that is pretty much Chinese that was a pleasant surprise as it might mean that they would have books and books and all in English.
I know, I am somehow still old fashioned in the sense that I prefer reading books and papers while holding the paper.
They just opened and it seems they have a nice selection of books as well as Western magazines and newspapers.
The address is 325 Chang Le Rd Shanghai.
(To be more precise it’s on the corner of Shaanxi Lu/ Changle Lu)
And unfortunately I am not getting any free books out of this.
