Cikapundung Book Market

Here you can find a vast variety of second-hand books, magazines, and other printed materials to select and purchase: from books on engineering and electronics to FHM Magazines, most of the time you can find whatever you want here. Also, most of the time you do not have to worry about the quality of the books: usually they are still readable and still in good conditions (despite perhaps a bit rough on the covers due to overexposure to direct sunlight.)

It is located near the famous Braga Street. Just go southern besides the Asia-Africa Museum, you will find PLN Building (National Electricity Company). The book market is just beside the PLN Building by the river of Cikapundung.
