For a secondhand book the price is still quite expensive for me, the books that I'm looking for range between Rm15-Rm20, I could get a cheaper price if buying online. It was located on the Ground floor also the 1st floor which has more books.

Great sustainable concept, yet is the owner try to up priced the books? Know it's second handed book but pricings are only few bucks lesser than new books, some even priced at a higher than original price LOL. Depends on what you buy i would say.
