Where are the books on old Singapore??

I've been searching in vain for books describing the life of Singapore in the old days. I've some in my personal collection but my thirst for such a genre is never-ending.

I've two publications written by Si Jing on her life in Chinatown during her younger days. I also have one written from a Peranakan perspective, incorporating her family biography in the process. Another is by Denyse Tessensohn entitled Elvis Lives in Katong, introducing the Eurasian culture to people of the other races. Yet another and also the last one I had obtained is written by a former newspaper writer on the olden days of Singapore.

Does anyone have any idea where I can obtain such books from?
