You can find many classics and famous authors books here. And when you tell your favourite books the shop owners will give you a reccomended book set for your choice!! I found that they have giod sinhalese books also. But they are fast selling

I hv been visiting these shops from late 70' s.l as a youngster.used to get books on rent with soft reading, like James Hadly Chase. now buying 4 books a month and read all of them as I have all the time in the world now also making a collection for son. He too has started liking in reading on top his Medical studies. My category of books are of Sydney Sheldon, Harold Robins, mainly. Nice people. They know a lot about books and Authors though many have no reading skills .that is Amazing.

They are very helpful when it comes to find the books of a particular category. Many people donate or sell 2nd hand books here. And you will never know what will you find it’s like a mystery. Enjoy your book searching journey. It’s soo beautiful to see the shops in the morning . If your allergy to dust get a mask with you.

Hey, if you're a bookworm like me, you gotta check out this place. They sell and rent books for super cheap. Some of 'em are in great condition, while others are a bit worn out. But trust me, it's a paradise for book lovers!
