Online Bookstores for Book Lovers

A book is more than just a collection of pieces of paper with printed words. It is more of a reservoir of knowledge bond together, filled with information, stories, and discoveries leading us elsewhere, perhaps to the past, present, future, or even to our dreams. Despite the rise of digital books, nothing feels better than holding, feeling, and reading a physical book. Surely, even the new normal wouldn’t be complete without the presence of books. Having said that, we won’t need to worry about not being able to go to bookstores at this time through these online bookstores we have now:

National Book Store

Haven’t we all experienced being “Batang National Book Store”? Ever since we were young, all of us have known this store. This is surely one of the most popular bookstores in the country. This has been our go-to bookstore which isn’t just known for books but also for its wide range of school and office supplies. Good thing, it has opened its doors for accepting online orders last May 2020.
