what are in your must-buys list?

last year was my first year at Popular bookfair and i am amazed to see parents pushing trolleys of books.

Just came out from the POP fair.


Not as crowded as I thought initially.

Non-Fiction & Fiction books - buy 2 get 1 free (the free book is the lowest price of the 3)
Some sections of Chinese books offering 2nd book @ 50% discount (taking the lower of the 2)
One section of books go as low as 40%.

The assessement books section as usual - crowded with parents browsing and filling up their trolleys with lots of books. 20% discount ; some up to 30%.

There is a Food Fair starting tomorrow so I believe tomorrow it will be more crowded there @ Expo.

I zoomed in @ 1020am and finished my purchases @ 1225pm because my DH came to look for me to \"help\" me carry my purchases ... Haiz.... Can't buy too much else he :rant: :stupid:

Happy shopping for those who are going

:drool:[/quote]Hi,

I went this morning. I think it's the usual spread but less than Dec one it seems. I did see teaching and learning resources by Scholastics, don't remember what discounts though. Most of the kids books are buy 2 get one free as mentioned above by another forummer. Today you get a $10 voucher if you buy more than $100 and is POP member.

My update.


Not too big a fair. Things are better organized in an orderly way. Staff are cheerful, helpful. (Kekekeke, maybe it was still very early and not many people).

I bought just a few assessment books but many copies of the comic book 'the survival ' science series .

Now on the comic books (many copies) has a price tag @$7.50, but at cashier it was $7.60. Pointed to staff that many copies on the shelves have a $7.50 price tag, they checked and seems like they forgot to remove the $7.50 price tag and sp is actually $7.60. Anyway, I got mine at $7.50 and please don't be mistaken hor, I didn't kick up a fuss or insist that the price is $7.50.

I just pointed out very nicely to them about the many copies on shelves with the wrong price tag and left them to sort it out themselves. Me a good girl today. :please:

Anyway, it has been a good trip there but wish I have more time to look at the books........
