BOOK Fairs

[sleepy]

Gramercy Music is having a storewide 30% on music books till end of this month.

Went to bookfest on Sat, and then Sunday again. Each time strangely I didn’t have to queue (Sun - payment was about 1pm+).


Generally books at 20% off, chinese I think 30%. I bought some 小白龙compo aids at $5.90 (went to popular store and saw it being sold at $7.40). There are generous discounts on some other assessment books. Liza Tan’s creative writing books going at $4.90 - a steal becos the store retails at $7.50 (and I bought a few titles at that price previously).

Also a lot of teacher’s resource. Saw the scholastic sets for grammar etc. The prices are pretty good actually. I bought the grammar set from amazon long time ago and was surprised that it’s available here.

There seems to be a lot more comic books this time round. Also English children fiction usually going at 3 for 2. Bought a beautifully bound copy of Aesop’s fables at only $6.9x and then they less off 20% (it wasn’t stated clearly, so that was a nice surprise).

Already got too much stationery and books. Dun think I will be going back again, but yes, next time I will wait till bookfest to get my assessment books. Else, long bia when I see it being sold cheaply again.

Thanks for the detailed post-mortem. Now I know what to look for

There are cashiers on both ends of the halls. And each side I think is divided into 2 portion. When I was making payment on Sunday, one end had queue like 5-10 pp, the other side was empty. No guess as to which one I headed to.


For those keen on TAS books, their creative writing book also going at $12 (I think, pls verify). Nonid to hunt high and low.

I got some Ammiel Wan assessment books for Maths also. For TAS cw book it is going for same price as the vocabulary book, both $12. Spelling book is $4. When I went yesterday at about 4 plus, the queue was not too bad too. Waited about 15 mins and could go.

Thank you.

not sure if it’s too late. you can find TAS near the big signboard that says ‘E-assessment’.


As an aside, also near that signboard are the books for the chinese ‘little white dragon’ (bought their compo aids and loved it).
