The Bookworm's Used Book Sale: All Books Selling at RMB 5!

"Now chemists have developed a technique that identifies what kind of degradation process an old book or historical document is going through, based on the odors it gives off. The report appears in the American Chemical Society journalAnalytical Chemistry." - Steve Mirsky reports for Scientific American

I can't say that I'm that attached to the odor of old books, but I'm still hooked on the feeling of flipping through the pages of a good book (as opposed to clicking to the next page on my Kindle reader).

And with winter approaching, it's time to make sure I have plenty of good books laying around my living room to keep me company when it's just too cold to go outside.

The Bookworm is hosting another used book sale this with all books priced at RMB 5!

Here's your chance to grab a hold of some great novels, biographies, histories, short stories, literary classics, bestselling thrillers, children's books and more.

With all books selling at RMB 5, you can really start to build your own personal library of great reads. Early birds get first pick so get on it people.

Sale starts at 10AM and runs until 5PM.
