sealed book there you just go to counter ask them to strip it, i prefer Popular bookstore, very convenient since they are selling stationery sets too.

kinokuniya's more high market. the other bookstores seem to cater more to middle class level droll. extensive econs and history sections, okay science section, stocks the latest pratchett. just that the philosophy section is a bit light - but much better than the others
