Molly's second hand bookstore in Taichung 茉莉二手書店

Looking for a novel to read?  Need a travel guide book.  Want some info on a hobby?  Then Molly's Second Hand Bookstore may be the place for you.  Its selection of English books is not large, but remember we are in a non-English speaking country.  However it is a used bookstore so you never know what you will find.  Many of the English books are on the back wall close to the center and the bookshelves in front of the back wall. These sections have novels, children's books and the discounted books.  If you buy 3 $40 books, you only pay $100. 

To the right of the English books section on the back wall are DVD's.  The carry both English and Chinese videos.  

Another area of possible interest is the section that contains travel books.  They are located on shelves in front of the cash register area.

There are also a few English books scattered among the Chinese books in each category.  But this may be difficult to figure out if you can't read the category signs written in Chinese.  Showing a key word in Chinese on a Chinese English dictionary to a clerk my put you in the right direction.

After you have made your selections, you can buy a cup of coffee and read at one of the tables in the middle of the store.

If you spend $500 or more, you can get a free membership card (會員卡).  With this card, you will receive a 15% off discount on any purchase, excluding the sale items (the $40 books) and drinks.  If you forget to bring your card, you just need to give the clerk your telephone number to utilize the membership card.
