Buku by PJ Preloved House (Buku), a newly opened pre-loved bookstore, is similar to any other bookstore... except that it is a fully self-service establishment.

Buku, located at the creative marketplace Kedai KL in Mahsa Avenue (Jalan Ilmu, Kuala Lumpur), places trust in the hands of customers by not having any staff present.
