Occupying what used to be the bistro on the first floor at Front Row, bookworms Kenny Leck and Karen Wai have transformed the space into a cosy nook for the likes of Murakami, Sweeney, Capote, Salinger and Nabokov. There’s also an assortment of desirably retro, non-literary oddities to peruse, including old-school film cameras, typewriters and even an old Atari joystick. Drop by and indulge yourself with works by the literary masters and design classics.

Nothing special really. Just some nice settings but that's about it. I prefer Kino

Haha.. In fact I never ever watched a korea serial once! Don't know why, I just luv the serenity of Ang Siang Hill and club street .. Plus the deco of Books Actually..
