    Second Hand Bookstore

    Books are accumulating in my limited size apartment and I was wondering if there are still any exchange bookstores in HK like the ones that used to be next to the Mid-Levels Escaltor or in Park Road where one could take their read books and exchange for other second hand books?

    Just FYI Flow will give you a store credit or 1/2 that credit value in cash. Book attic only does store credits.

    I too have the same problem Sold a bunch of young adult novels to Flow, they're very friendly

    Over the years I have found the best method of getting books is to go to the school fairs. The parents donate books to raise money for the school / kids. Most of the international schools will have a used book stall at their yearly fair. Prices are rally cheap - $10 to $20 a book. Mostly adult bestsellers and lots of kids books.
    I think the West Island school fair is coming up.
    Then, once read, I just give them away to my helper to read / send home.

    The YWCA on Macdonnell Rd, opp. the St Johns Ambulance collects and sells second hand books. Their prices range between $10 - $20.
