The Treasure store offers thousands of popular and rare used English language books at the Danga City Mall in downtown Johor Bahru, Malayasia. Malaysia (as well as Singapore) have very high book prices. 50-100% above those in the USA for the same books. Finding a source of interesting reading that is affordable is a great relief.

Still prices for used books are high, as much as new books in the USA. Treasure books has thousands of used books for sale and rent in english: John Grisham, Michael Crichton, David Baldacci, Mary Higgins Clark, James Patterson, Ken Follet, Dan Brown, Danielle Steel... You pay the purchase price but when you return the book you will get a refend minus a 5 Ringgit (or so) rental fee.

The owner is quite friendly and the inventory doesn't fit in the shop so let her know if you have special requests. Also, I don't think the store has regular hours, so you would be wise to call ahead and make sure it is open before making a trip.

I was excited to find so many interesting books and hope we can make the store popular and keep in in business. And maybe even get a larger selection of science fiction books (because I would like to read them). The store also sells children's books and magazines and has a special focus on women authors.

The Danga Mall in general is nice but if you visit it is obvious the traffic needs to increase to sustain the existing stores and bring in more merchants (there are tens of empty store spots). The mall has a very good IT section with many stores and also has a bowling alley, paintball field and grocery store.
