USM PENANG, 11 April 2022 – Penerbit USM has launched a bookshop in continuing its e-commerce platform which has commenced operation in 2021.

The EMDASH Bookstore is located at the E42 Building, Chancellory II complex next to the Purple outlet. The store operates daily from 10.00 am to 3.00 pm.

[An 'em dash' is a separator that can be used to break a sentence. It is a terminology close to a publisher's heart. As a means to get this term closer to the readers, the 'Emdash' brand name was aptly chosen.]

Among the latest books available there, is a book entitled 'Sirap Limau Ais: Memoir Seorang Pentadbir' written by the Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) Registrar, Dr. Musa Hj Ali.

The book brings together snippets of Dr. Musa Ali during his career at USM in terms of his career progress, family and personal life, and can be purchased via walk-in at the USM EMDASH Bookstore with a 20% discount or online from the Lazada, Shopee, Prestomall and PG Mall apps, or at emdash.my at a price of RM35.00.

For more information on the books available at Emdash, there's the option to walk in to the store or through the e-platform, which can be accessed via Emdash.my.

EMDASH Bookstore was also recently listed on Google business to further make its online presence felt across Google.

Penerbit USM is an award-winning university-based scholarly publisher with numerous accolades, including the Anugerah Akademik Negara, Anugerah Buku Negara, Anugerah MAPIM and the Ministry of Education’s CRÈME Journal Awards.
