      bought most books from popular. but there are usually 2 or 3 books which you can get only from school bookshop and not elsewhere.


      My kids’ schools accept nets, cash and cheques and yes, secondary school books are not cheap.

        bought son’s sec 3 books from popular to enjoy 5% discount and also chalk up rebates for bookfest. in total, spent about $300+ excluding school uniform which came up to $75.

          I buy from Popular also. More convenient as Popular is near us and sch is farther away. Don’t want to lug heavy books back home.


          My child will buy when sch reopens for few books that only available from school.

              Finally we bought ds textbooks today, decided better to do it before Sec 1 reporting day.


              Also lucky, all books have stock.
