Weird and Wonderful Bookshops Around the World (D's Books)
Looks like D's Books gets a mention in The Guardian's list of interesting book shops from around the world.
D’s Books, Pnomh Penh, Cambodia
Vantha Douk, like many Khmers, had a poor and difficult upbringing in rural Cambodia. She worked many jobs to afford English classes, and when her aunt met an American bookseller who was opening D’s Books, she got a job as a bookseller. Six years later, she managed to buy all three branches of D’s Books in Cambodia.
