A tiny place, but a quality selection - dig around and you'll probably find something. Prices are comparable to Flow in Central. This small, non-profit shop is a labour of love for the book-loving owner who would be happy to just be able to cover her costs. I fear this one may not survive long (it opened this year), unless it gets more traffic.

Oxfam Shop, Central

There's an Oxfam charity store in the basement of Jardine's House in Central. I called in there today, and came away with three second-hand paperbacks, priced in the range $25-40 each.

In the high streets of small towns in the UK it seems like every other shop is a charity shop. There aren't many here though.

The Travellers' Home

The address is:
2/F, 55 Hankow Road

Flow

2/F, 40 Lyndhurst Terrace

Jam-packed with books, and next to the Mid-levels escalator, so it's easy to get to.

Coffee. Book

[Thanks to T for supplying the name of this place that I'd forgotten]

They are the only shop on this stretch of road, so they are easy to see. As well as selling books they also run a coffee shop and serve light meals too.

I had lunch there once - I didn't get ill but it was very unexciting (I think they cater to pupils from the nearby schools). So I'd suggest you to stick to the books.
