A fantastic bookshop selling english & chinese books. They have comics (both english & chinese), and Taiwan/HK magazines at very competitive prices ! Looking for old and rare chinese gongfu books, they have the largest selection in Singapore! Mill & Boons fans, they have so much you simply wouldnt know where to start! Looking for full set of comics, you have come to the right place as they have many in full complete sets! Historical or chinese romance stories ? There's lots here too !

This shop offers a >1 types of rental faciliaties: rent and read on spot (seems to be mostly comics lovers), be a member and rent a book/comic home to read, pay a deposit and rent home to read.
Haven't try out their read on spot rental, but I sort of remember it charges by hour, and they have a sort drinks fridge to sell you at $1 (or so). Don't worry, they have air-con (so that it is not hot such that you need to buy the drinks).
I like their member system, especially for comics, where it is at $1 per book for 1 day, so if you rent a whole series of say 14 books, you will get 14 days to read it at the comfort of your own house.
And because of this member system, it is less likely for people to rent the book home, forgot to return on time and hence end up just forfeiting the deposit and not return the book. I tried out another book store near my place before, and they do not have a lot of books under a particular chinese novel series that I like, and I suspect is because people don't return the books to claim back the deposit, since the deposit rent is approximate the selling price of the book.
The aunties and uncles manning the shop are nice too. Although you will see them do other things like eating their home-cooked meals, or taking care of a sleeping baby, while you are in the shop. A family environment (not noisy, don't worry) to read comics.
