Mondo Books
(Thank you to Avril Haye for this submission)
I regularly spend too much money on books, so when I heard that there was a second hand Englsih book shop in Nagoya I scurried there as fast as I could. My first impression of Mondo Books was however one of disappointment because it is a very small and it doesn't look as if they is much there. But as they so often are first impressions are deceiving, becasue when I perused the shelves I realised that they had a wide selection of fiction that I wanted to read. I left with three books but only because my husband refused to carry 5. And all of them were 500yen each - Bargain! Another good thing about Mondo is that they do a bookswap service, where customers can bring in books that they no longer want and swap them for something on the shelf. I'll definitely be making regular visits when I go into town and I'd recommend that all the the bookaholics out there do the same.
