I like Books Actually. It's a smart shop for smart people who truly like to think about the words on the page. I found the range of titles eclectic. And no, it wasn't pretentious, or members only clique like too many great little places in Singapore. I recommend a visit, especially on days when they hold in store events.

BooksActually moved to its current Club Street location in Oct 2009. The address above is correct.

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

I find that Books Actually is quite a romantic place to be. Perhaps may even meet your soul mate ….. Imagine two books lovers falling in love at first sight on a rainy afternoon when they dashed into the store lookin for shelter and chanced upon this beautiful place with good books………..
