Littered with Books
A Duxton indie favourite for literary fiction, non-fiction, travel writing and children's books.
Littered with Books is a well-loved independent bookstore in a Duxton shophouse, known for a carefully chosen mix rather than mass-market volume. Its shelves typically lean towards literary fiction, narrative non-fiction, travel, cookbooks, graphic novels and quality children's books. The shop has built its reputation on browsing: readers come for the atmosphere, staff picks and titles that sit outside the usual bestseller tables. Its location in the Tanjong Pagar area also makes it one of the easiest independent bookstores to fold into a weekend walk.
Littered with Books is the place to go when you want the pleasure of browsing to do some of the work for you. The selection feels human, not algorithmic, and the shop has a strong track record with readers looking for novels, essays, travel books and gifts with more personality. It is not the biggest bookstore in Singapore, so very specific academic or specialist titles may not be on hand. But for considered general reading, it remains one of the most reliable indie stops.
It remains one of Singapore's most reputable independent browsing shops, with a strong Duxton presence, tasteful curation and broad appeal across fiction, non-fiction and gifts.
