BOOK Fairs

I saw a second hand book stall today at Thomson Plaza, but not sure if it is the same one as what pokemon was referring to.

Last MPH sale was exceptional in that there were a lot of offerings, and the prices were very good (priciest is $8 for a single book, and if you buy 3, I think the price was lower) and UOB had credit card discount on top of those already good prices

Wow, sounds good. Are these new books or the less than pristine ones?

Ermm.. :idea: ... what i meant was how much were the faraway books
at bras basah yesterday... those that you saw...

:idea: don't know whether relevant to your question or not... I got mine at last year's Popular bookfair. Buy 2 and get 1 free. So it was about $16 for the 3 books, but they are paperback, not hardcover.

Mostly new books at such sales. But some could be in a bad way - the Little Men/Miss box set I got - box holding the set was in a bad way (cover almost ripped off) but the books were in pristine condition. The other stuff I got - all in good condition.

In fact these warehouse sales do carry some of the hotter (but losing steam?) titles. Saw a lot of Twilight books being thrown around last year.

Oh, so they are not there now?


Was thinking of making a trip there. Can you update when u see them there again? :thankyou:

mummy of 2 and michteach,

i was told the 2nd hand bookshop will be back to thomson plaza at mid may for abt 2 weeks, now its on 'world tour', think if i remember correctly is sembawang or hougang. The other bookshop is always there quite permanently but they will take a 2wks break here and there.

Thanks, will KIV. Just bought a new bookshelf on Sunday, and it's already 2/3 full :!:

Mine gave up on me already. Even without mph sale, I keep sneaking furtive looks into scholastic, bookpeople and amazon....offline also want, online also want. :?: :?:
