Reminder!!!
Due to renewal of Green e books, since April 2013 Green e books is no more second hand foreign bookstore.
Instead we changed into “Mindful Living Store”. Concept is “TO LIVE in the moment mindfully”, So we are selling yoga, meditation, organic, natural ecology minded products.
We are sorry for the sudden changes, also thank you so much for support us for 9years to continue sell foreign books!!!!
Bookstore information
Recycle with Green e Books!
Green e books is a buy used & sell used foreign bookstore. It has been continuing this rare business since 2004. Though we have been adding different elements to our business space (Workshops, seminars, party, yoga related events…) , but the root of our business is always a place to relate through recycling knowledge.
We are one of the very rare secondhand foreign bookstores in Kansai. Only ONE! in Kyoto! Online shopping is easy to search, easy to get exactly what you want, we agree…..! but it’s also sometimes nice to meet actual books and feel their vibrations!
Green e books is a place to recycle your knowledge….
