Probably in Bangkok or a local online business? I want to ship these kinds of books to some of the orphanages that I support in Myanmar. So especially hardback books with illustrations, such as Dorling Kindersley science books, books with maps, books about other countries etc.

It is all but impossible to find these kinds of books in Myanmar, so I need to buy these books in Thailand and ship them over to Yangon, where I can store them in my 'Safestore' and distribute them over time. (So I'm looking at 100s of childrens' books). I have previously seen FB adverts for pre-owned childrens' books available in Thailand (sold by the pallet), but can't locate this ad again.

Any suggestions appreciated - thanks :)

Nothing to do with a video, it was a link to a facebook page- for some reason those links are read as video by the platform PIA Here it is again but remove the spaces.

Dasa Books in Sukhumvit has a dedication children's section on the second floor. Many hardcovers for all ages, even teen-lit, though I have not checked the more educational titles.

It's a fun shop, though they'll toss you our if you take a selfie! Good coffee, too.

Thanks for the replies.

The browser 'spies' are watching because the FB advert for the company that imports childrens' books by the pallet from the UK just popped up again :)

"secondhand childrens' books?" Are you looking for secondhand books for children, or books for secondhand children ?

I thoroughly recommend using Luke Boag. Very efficient and a great stock of books.

I agree. Great place to get almost any kind of used books. I prefer going in and browsing but you can also order online and get the books shipped.

They are located in Bangkok on Suhumvit road between Soi 26 & 28

Why has my Facebook link changed to a "Video unavailable". I didn't link to a video, just a Facebook page for 2nd-hand English books for children?

In Pattaya there is Canterbury Tales Bookstore. The link is a FB one, so no use to post here, I guess.

Maybe try China?

There are many very large printing companies there.

Much of the world's printed material originates from China.

Ask them to send books to you for free, why not?

There must be millions of books with slight defects, or books which have been rejected by importers for reasons not important to young readers.

If you need anything, then China is the place....

You have been doing this for decades. Where did you buy books and teaching supplies before? Maybe I have you confused with another poster.
