Popular sale still on. I went about 10.15am, already had to queue to go in. Figure these last 2 days should be much better.
Fiction titles (adult) buy 1 free 1. Some discounts on children titles. Assessment books on offer - 20%, 25% etc.
The crowd on Sat was really crazy. -
SBF at Suntec was not too bad. Saw the famed 'si wu kuai du' at Maha Yuyi but the prices were amazing. What was RMB19, is SGD9.50 (10% discount for non-members; 20% for members). Didn't buy. figure I rather get from dangdang.
Timesbookshop has a booth there...that one I like. Horrible histories book fairly cheap (eg Horrible Xmas at $4, Horrible Savages sticker book $6). But be careful. I saw a certain title going at $8 in Times; BUT it was only 3 for $10 at another bookshop....same book!
Casco assessment books quite cheap. Some (not all) going at 3 for $12....and I had bought one at $4.70 in Popular expo. :stupid: :stupid:
Geronimo Stiltons at 6.90/7.90 (paper said 6.90; but when I asked it was 7.90...maybe different titles). Friend told me that Borders discount coupon better.

Hi Hquek,
I went to Popular Fair last Friday. Not Worth the trip.
The Q was ridiculously long and not much discount.
Did you see Thomas n Friends in SBF?
My friend bought from Borders -Geronimo Stilton. Better price.
I think getting online still the best option. -

Actually the queue to pay was ok for me. Pretty long, but fast. I paid about 11.30am - told DH to hurry up cos I think the payment queue will only get worse. Thereafter we left the place...saw a long string of cars waiting to turn into the expo road leading to the carpark....siao liao.Hi Hquek,

I saw some Thomas books in SBF but sorry, cannot remember the price.
So miffed over the Horrible Xmas. I just bought from amazon UK for I think about 6pounds....and now I see it at S$4. But these kind of things can only :stupid: - console myself with a \"if I knew, I would be super rich\" thought.
Yes, I think ultimately, going online is still best for many storybooks/non-fiction books. But boh pian...I wanted to get some assessment books. :oops: -
Haha, Hquek, cos u r early to made payment. The queue after 1pm is terrible! We gave up in queue after wasting time to select our books! A friend was there too and queue for 3 hrs and 20mins to be her turn for payment! But there was no queue on Sunday!

I had to queue from hall 4 to get into hall 3 (that becos they were checking the popular cards). I think the queue on sat was due to the $10 voucher (if you spend more than $100 in 1 receipt).
Gosh, I would have fainted if I had to wait for 3 hours plus. I think I only waited like 15-25min.
I was at TPY on Sunday...and strangely, they had much of the same stationery etc on sale there also. What is the point of having it at expo if you are going to repeat elsewhere?
I just found it amazing also that just one week prior, they had a private sale that was also very siao....and now with expo, pp go crazy all over again. -
