THE SMILING SKY BOOKSHOP. TRULY A NICHE MARKET IN BATTAMBANG

The Smiling Sky Bookshop in an initiative of local mother of three children, Chan. This little gem is tucked into a small niche near the Chhaya Hotel on Rue 3.
I like it because:............
 of the  array of books in French, German and English that cover a comprehensive range of subjects including history, biography, geography, romance, mystery and humour.

Prices are reasonable and you can either buy, exchange or sell books.

DVD's are on sale. 

You can buy small mementos and I use the word deliberately as they are far too exquisite to call souvenirs!

Speaking of souvenirs, the tee shirts are great. My favourites have the Battambang Man and the old Elecrticite du Battambang logos on them.

The coffee is great and at thirty-seven cents a mug, I venture to say that it is the best value for money coffee in the world!!  
What is special about the Smiling Sky Bookshop?
They sell postcards and stamps and will even post your cards for you!
The business is locally owned and operated and a great example of what enterprising women in Cambodia can achieve.
