BOOK Fairs

hquek:

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).

Thanks,, was trying to source for compo for reading purpose.

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

I went on 2nd day but slightly earlier & i didn't have to queue either. :hi5:
Besides i really find that they have a good system in place.
Those big events like Sitex and other mega exhibitions can still be quite
messy despite already holding similar expos at large scale. :roll:

hquek:

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).

Agree with hquek. Some books are priced lower than what was originally priced and before the 20% discount too, so they are great buys. :rahrah:

hquek:

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.

ABSOLUTE TEMPTATION at this corner! Scholastic resources are located at the booth behind the stage area, you won't miss it! I feel like buying every set of them! :drool:

For parents who love to work fun stuff with children at home be it to introduce concepts of learning or to supplement with fun enrichment, these resources are godsend.

hquek:

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.

Me three! :slapshead:

I bought quite abit already to avoid mad rush at BookFest and if in case hubs dowan to accompany me (cos sure have to lug heavy things plus the baby! :faint:) but now think it sure is worth the wait. Great discounts.

We also have enuff stocked stationery. My work room is like library cum mini Popular bookstore. But i bought files to file in their past work. Used to be priced at 6 for $20.90 but at BookFest was only like $11.80.

If i go again, i'm sure to burn more :moneyflies:....

hquek, my kiddies are also both in upper primary nx year.. so i didn't buy.

I still have my resource sets stored in my workroom for chubs' future use.

I was there at almost closing time, so it’s not crowded at all.


I believe most assessment books were marked down, but EPH’s (Popular’s sister company) assessment books were at 22% discount, so as to make it worth your while to go to the book fest rather than to use the 20% voucher at the store.

[phtthp]

saw a lot of parents buying TAS Vocabulary book, Creative writing expressive composition.


and this P3 / P4 Science NAIL those MCQs by 'teachers@ work' - flew off the shelf so fast at bookfest!

saw a lot of parents snap up Helen Lee Science (lower & upper block), at 4 for $9.90

it's very near to the TAS table. Behind the board that says e-assessments, nearby also Emitasia (magazine subscription). Liza Tan's stuff are on a table but placed together with other stuff. I think her books seem to be selling well and the impression was that it's getting lesser (sorry for alarming you if it's not true). She has quite a few titles and some may be rehash - so good to look inside before buying. Some of her titles have a big caterpillar on the cover - sorry to say, but the caterpillar is the drawn type, I dun find it nice (but it's the contents that matter).
