Like many of you, our hearts fell when we heard the announcement that Kubrick’s store was closed temporarily due to the pandemic. But their online shop is open and equally impressive, where book lovers can find a wide array of titles, such as unique graphic novels, art and design books, and literature to name just a few. Stock is easily navigated, and you can have your books delivered swiftly within a week.

Just because the Hong Kong Book Fair 2020 was postponed amid Covid-19 third wave , doesn’t mean you can’t get your literary fix for a productive summer break. Some of the booksellers are still offering delivery services to bring the latest reads straight to your door. Whether you’re into literary classics, cookbooks or biographies, these trusted stores will have you covered.

New books are the perfect antidote to quarantine blues—here’s where to get your literary fix from the comfort of your home

Recognised as one of Hong Kong’s oldest booksellers, Swindon Book Co. is a cultural gem that has survived through the tide of time since 1815. Recently we've heard the announcement that the book store is closing its doors at the end of this month, but the good news is—Swindon will continue to serve their readers online, and you can still order books from their website. As well as housing an expansive selection of reads ranging from fiction to art and lifestyle, the online store also offers academic textbooks, children’s literature and magazines. You can easily spend hours browsing the site, as Swindon will make you feel like no genre is out of your reach. Discover more at swindonbooks.com
