BOOK Fairs

hquek:

Now the bulk of my frivolous expenses go into books. Used to be toys and clothes for the kids - now moderate. Pre-kids, I think I did spend on clothes - but it was never excessive.


oh, don't worry, I'm foreseeing another mph sale in months to come - perhaps June? or probably Sept.

You may like to cater for your child's interest. Enid Blyton is a good author, but no point if your child doesn't like. DS1 expressedly told me not to get more enid blytons.

BTW, my friend bought a winnie the pooh set in the last mph sale - it's the original WTP book (2 in 1 book comprising titles - Winnie the Pooh, and House at Pooh Corner) with \"When we were very young\" book by A.A. Milne. Both are hardcopies and in a box set and only $15. Good deal.

Realy hope another mph sales coming before sept (hope another good 1), cos i want to stock up to give as birthday or christmas presents.

Wow that is a really good buy, considering that each Winnie the Pooh book is going for $28 at Popular. :celebrate:

The $15 box set is a good deal, but do note that it is a different edition from those sold for $28 at Popular. I only managed to get the \"When we were very young\" set that comes with \"Winnie the Pooh Collection\". Haven't checked what is in the Winnie the Pooh Collection. If it comprises both Winnie the Pooh and House at Pooh Corner, then I would wonder how small the wordings are.

If you are looking for 3 in ones, I would recommend to wait for mph sale. Based on past 2, there ARE titles available - Mysteries collection, Family Collection, Wishing Chair, Faraway Tree. Each going for $8 at 'list' price - the Dec sale was $5.40 after discount, this one that just past is a bit more ex at $6.30. But still cheep cheep.

I only saw the Mysteries collection and the Family Collection when I was there. Bought the Family Collection but not the Mysteries Collection as the word fonts of the latter looked very small to me. Wonder if this is always the case when it comes to 3 in 1 collection?

By the way, does anyone know how much are these 3 in 1 collections originally and could you buy them from the MPH stores? Thought I have never seen them before.

The $15 set - now I hear is actually $8 as charged. so nett, my friend paid 6.30.

Anyway, that set comprises of both Winnie the Pooh, and House at Pooh Corner. Font size is ok, didn't feel its too small (managed to cover that book with DS). The other is When we were very young book I have not yet touched.

I had just read \"What the Dogs saw\" by Malcolm Gladwell...in large print. Can faint cos the large print made the book very big and cumbersome. But then loan from library, shall not quibble with size.

Have to be there early lah.

Font size I thought is about the same as other Enid Blyton hardcovers? Just the book is 3x fatter?

I think I saw it's $18 in MPH, I saw one set at Esso station retailing at $14.

Not sure, between the Mysteries collection and the Family collection, I notice a difference in the font size, hence only bought the Family collection but not the Mysteries collection. Don't want DD to blind her eyes reading fonts that are too small, she is the once started cannot put the book down type.
