I have heard of BookXcess but I have not visited the place. Initially, I checked and it seemed it only opens for the weekends and public holidays. That is the time when the whole area is the busiest and parking hard to get. Since we were at Concubine Lane, and our friend suggested that we pay a visit to BookXcess, it was a good opportunity to check out this place.
This is the first sign that greeted us.
We need to go down the narrow stairs
Let's get down and nerdy!
We need to go further down to reach the vault.
BookXcess Kong Heng builts its bookstore within a bank's vaults and safety deposit boxes.
This vault was owned United Asian Bank and its origins can be dated back to the 80s. The tiles, vault doors, and safety deposit boxes have been preserved in its original state to evoke its rich history.
Many books on display including children's books.
Reflection.
Children's book.
Books and safety deposit boxes
We will need more time to go through the titles of these books.

Tonight (24th Dec.), we will be celebrating Christmas Eve
and tomorrow (25th Dec.) we will be celebrating
the birth of Jesus Christ, the Messiah (our Saviour).
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Long ago God spoke in many different ways to our fathers
through the prophets, in visions, dreams, and even face to face,
telling them little by little about his plans.
But now in these days he has spoken to us through his Son
to whom he has given everything and through whom
he made the world and everything there is.
(Hebrews 1:1-2, The Living Bible-TLB)
