Yah, I get loads during such sales, and also via online websites (those are typically far cheaper than Sg retail) ....already got too many books lying around. :imdrowning:

btw, for chinese books, I like to buy in china (last trip to HK also must squeeze a trip to shenzhen for books - my heaven :rubhands: ).
