Xin Hua Bookstore Melbourne

Lovely little bookstore that carries a variety of Chinese language books. I picked up a recipe book along with a couple of language learning resources and was very happy with the selection.

A very comprehensive chinese book store. Went there for a English-Chinese dictionary. Customer service was superb. Last immediately greeted me as I stepped in and ask if I need help. I showed her a picture of what I need and she gets it right away for me.
I asked about the website and she explained very clearly to me.
If ever need another item, it’s just a phone call and then pick up. Thumbs up!

The lady at the counter was super helpful and definitely knows how to help me. She knows what is in the shop and is very experienced. I went in to buy a Chinese English dictionary and she knew exactly what I needed. I also liked her style as she was honest and let me decide as a customer. She also explained the product again to ensure I understand what it is when I asked to look at the dictionary. It was sealed so I asked if I could look at the set up. Straight way she said yes & went to remove the seal for me.
I learnt a character the day before, I knew the pin yin, I could find that straight away when I looked through the dictionary. I said I'll buy it ( immediately). I also saw some red packets that I liked. There was 1 style that I wanted to buy. I said please add this too. She said we sell individually so you can buy how many you like. I said can you please count how many there is in the packet? She counted and said there is 16. She explained they put 2 packets into one.
The thing I really like about this lady is - she knew I did not speak Mandarin. She treated me as a valued customer in the bookshop that had majority Chinese books. It makes me comfortable to go in and ask for help. It is the attitude that will encourage more and more people who do not speak, read or write Mandarin to learn Mandarin. This is the attitude to embrace if the wish that Mandarin will one day become a lingua franca round the world. Embracing all Chinese descent as well as everyone else - just like the English language. Put aside the ego and judgement and arrogance and work with a neutral attitude to help and work together. In Chinese medicine, that is to act and move in the Regeneration cycle. The destruction cycle is with the ego, judgemental and arrogant attitude it puts the other person in defense mode naturally.

Always friendly and helpful service. Thank you :)

Pretty good bookstores. You can also order online and they can post the book to you. Very convient.
