I ran home immediately after work, heart thumping, mouth dry, full of anticipation, just to check whether there was any mail or message from the one I've been waiting for. Sound familiar to those of you in love? Except the mail or message I was waiting for was from my bookseller as to whether the new book I ordered has arrived!
A good book is an ideal companion, especially on a long trip. It only talks to you when you want to be talked to. It is always there, waiting patiently for you to return to wherever you feel like. It will never tell you that you are too slow, too dumb, too kinky. In short, the perfect soul-mate.
The most enjoyable moment is when you take your book out after a relaxing hot bath, then feel its weight, rub its pages, sniff the smell of print before proceeding to read it till the wee hours.
However, for quite a long time, I found that getting a good book was not an easy job.
My friends recommended to me a book wholesaler in Haiyin.
Haiyin Book City offered everything on print, Chinese books, foreign books, books on finance, economy, tourism, maps to cities all around the country, computer, swordsmen fiction, great essays, textbooks, all kinds of magazines, children books, cartoons, how-to books.... The prices were reasonable, especially if you purchased in quantity. In general, you could get at least a 20% discount and if you bought more, you might get as much as 40% discount.
Travel tip: Haiyin Book Wholesale Market was located under the Haiyin Bridge. To get there take buses no. 104, 546, 551, and 45, get off at the stop for Dashatou, and walk westward for Second Hand Market.
