Silverfish Books, a longstanding independent bookshop and publisher in Malaysia, has left its shopping mall store (Bangsar Village II) and found a new home at 63, Lorong Maarof in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur.

“It has been very quiet so far but we are confident that it will pick up soon. This is one of the older neighbourhoods in Bangsar and it would be nice to be a neighbourhood bookshop. We hope to build a literary community here with talks, book events and writing workshops,” says SIlverfish Books director Raman Krishnan.
