What truly sets this place apart from other bookshops in Semarang is the provision of several quite cozy seating areas where you can explore and read books without the discomfort of standing all the time there. Most of the books are unsealed, allowing you to flip through them.
The interior of the shop gleams a vintage bookstore ambiance, complete with warm lighting and classic flooring. As a result, there are corners within the shop that offer picturesque settings, practically calling for you to take photos. Just remember to ask permission from the shop owner before taking pictures. For those who want to capture the beauty of these bookstore corners, all it takes is purchasing a book with a minimum price of IDR 45,000.
The store, regrettably, can get quite hot inside, even though they do provide electric fans. And yes, some books may be a bit dusty, which could leave your fingers with a layer of dust after handling them.
It’s advisable to wear your most comfortable attire, considering the conditions inside the bookshop.
