Where do I get Books?

NUS Co-op
Lim Seng Tjoe Lecture Theatre (Lecture Theatre 27)
Science Drive 1 Singapore 117541
Opening Hours
For those with friends studying at NUS, the NUS Co-op Bookshop @ LT27 offers a further 5% discount to students of the University, so if you can get your friends studying there to buy for you, even better! You can also get your NEURO kits, dissection kits and lab coats and safety goggles if you need them here as well.

Yunnan Bookshop
Bras Basah Complex #04-57, 231 Bain Street, (S)180231
Opening Hours: Weekdays and Saturdays only from 10am-6pm
For those of you who love to have a real book to read from (many of us have ebooks of required texts), you might consider doing some shopping at Yunnan Bookshop at Bras Basah Complex where the books are usually cheaper (but quickly out of stock). It is usually staffed by a very friendly lady whom knows quite a bit about the kind of books you will need (protip: you do not need the latest edition for Anatomy as your body does not change much). It however does not offer equipment for sale.
*I recently heard another has opened at NTU to serve the new medical school there. Hurray for westerners!

Lastly, another alternative would be the ResearchBooks Asia at Novena Square2, where they offer quite the variety of medical texts and equipment at some discounts to students.
Tip: Email the various bookshops and compare prices across, as some books are marked up for some bookshops while others are much cheaper!
