By the Book: A Celebration of Buying (And Renting) Secondhand Books

Joy of Books is a platform that allows folks to rent books online, while Bookaholics Anonymous is a shop that began life as a bookcrossing initiative, before morphing into an affordable secondhand bookstore. We speak with Carol Low, who runs both platforms, about her drive to get more Malaysians reading!
