English bookstore in Shanghai

Myself and my partner cycled by this bookstore by accident searching for a cafe for lunch. We just had to go inside as the title of the store was in English and all the books they had were written in English which was the first we’d come across in China! The owners, Sissy and her friend, we’re absolutely lovely and spoke a small amount of English. They even owned a fat ginger cat called ‘Shakespeare’ which we found amusing.

The books were pricy and cost us 250¥ for two books (one which I enjoyed was a book of local Chinese swear words and sayings, which is apparently a popular buy). If you’re in the area, we’d definitely recommend a read of some classics! They even serve drinks at a discounted price if you purchase a book.
