Treasure hunt

Books for Less is the first used-book store chain in Metro Manila to sell more than trashy romance novels. It is because of them that I have been able to try out genres other than my usual science fiction and fantasy. This branch along Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City is where my husband and I usually go treasure hunting. On its left is what used to be a restaurant, but it's closed now; to its right is an abandoned gas station and garage. (PHOTO BY DOGBERRY)
