Field notes
The page includes filters for Hong Kong districts and a separate country selector for overseas Hong Kong bookstores and libraries. Its reading-room booking section gives pass durations and says the space is run by one shopkeeper, with availability tied to that person's hours. The bookstore order flow lists FPS, PayMe, and bank transfer, but says not to pay until stock is confirmed.
