Sequoia Cafe: books + coffee = good times
Garden Books is now open above Sequoia Cafe (Guanghua Lu branch) providing yet another spot in the city to relax with a coffee and a book. The shop takes over the space that formerly held Tim’s Texas BBQ and, before that, John Bull Pub.
There are plenty of books about China, though these tend toward the tourist-y series types, as well as Hemingway, Atwood, Kerouac, Updike, Camus, Grisham, King, and so on. Ford Prefect fans will find Douglas Adams “Ultimate Hitcherhiker’s Guide to the Universe”, while members of the Beijing Barack Obama fan club can pick up the man’s memoirs – Dreams from My Father.
Food and drink lovers will also find some nice stuff, including Larousse Gastronomique, The Culinary Institute of America’s Professional Chef (Seventh Edition), and Hugh Johnson’s How to Enjoy Wine.There is also Harry G. Frankfurt’s “On Bullshit” – the owner says he has sold about 500 copies of this in his Shanghai branch.
