How do you get your books in Taiwan?

[Lianna]

JNot too easy to find good English books here in Taiwan, unless you can pop into a Mollie's every week or so (thank god for Mollies).

But now I bought a Kindle and I love it. Ive read over 10 books in the first month- books that wouldve taken a month to arrive from the States

has this group been abandoned for an fb one?

I am looking for some old books from Taiwan and would like to meet some people in Taiwan that might be able to keep their eyes open for me, or even bid on Ruten or Yahoo bids if they come up. I can pay back with PayPal, Western Union, or even send books from the U.S. in trade. I can provide more information and pictures if you personal message me. Thank you for any help!

try the second-hand books group on FB... response time is probably quicker!

Getting the books is easy, I just miss spending hours browsing through bookshelves.

There's a book exchange cafe called Coda and Bongos near Taipower Station where you can buy books for low prices or exchange them for free. They have a pretty good selection and everything is in English. The address is: 106台北市大安區羅斯福路三段283巷23號

Hello,

We have started a book exchange group on LINE. Mostly with people from the Taiwan Readers group so far.

We try to meet every month for coffee to trade bike, and talk about bookish things.

Add me on LINE and I'll invite you to the group.

Cheers!
