If you are looking for books to read during your travels, then be sure to hunt down the Technology & Scientific Publishing House at 28 Dong Khoi Street in HCMC's District 1.
.
Here you will find an array of books and other assorted stuff that is sure to offer something of interest. Inside the small shop, you will struggle to move around the mountians of old books, maps and postcards on offer. But give yourself some time and you'll find some amazing stuff. They also exchange books - 2 for 1.
.
On offer are: 
  • Second hand novels of all kinds. Prices range from 50,000 - 100,000VND
  • Various old books in French, German and English dating back to the early 1900's
  • Tons of Medical and Mathematics Text books 
  • Old Maps from around Vietnam
  • Old files from the 50's and 60's during the war (in Vietnamese) 
  • Variety of Mag's, including Fashion Mags (Vogue), IT, Camera mags, Time, National Geo, Financial Mags etc. Others in French and German as well
  • Postcards and handmade cards for birthdays etc.
  • Photographs from the 50/60/70's of people I don't know (and I guess you won't either!).
So there you have it. No excuses! Get down to Dong Khoi Street and knock yourself out!
.
If your not into books, why not try a Cycling Tour in Vietnam..........13 Days of Adventure and Fun!
