The Information Services Department (ISD) launched today (January 15) the revamped Online Government Bookstore (www.bookstore.gov.hk) to provide a simpler, faster and user-friendly shopping experience for the public to browse and purchase government publications.

     Enhanced features of the revamped online bookstore include:

• New look with better layout for easier browsing;
• Streamlined ordering process and tracking;
• Enhanced search functions with more accurate results;
• Display of more publication details and photos; and
• Mobile-friendly user interface design.

     Customers can simply register a user account with their email address to purchase Government publications online. Upon registration, users can place order, check its status and order history. They can also save the recipient's address in their account and retrieve the record for use in the next purchase, which is time-saving and convenient.

     The Online Government Bookstore provides publications on a wide range of subjects, including the Laws of Hong Kong, Government Gazette, codes of practice, statistical and other reports, and curriculum guides.

     Members of public who wish to purchase government publications through other means may call ISD's Publications Sales Unit at 2537 1910 for further information.
