BOOK Fairs

Thanks hquek. So how many books can your kid's bring back with $10-20? Are they happy with the quantum? Sorry, I am not sure how to manage. $20 doesn't seems to promise many books, maybe 5? But on the other hand, $20 seems a lot for a primary 1 kid. Or am I just clueless?On school bookfairs, So far I give him say $10-20 and ask him to buy whatever he fancies. Feel it's impt to let him have some fun in exercising his own choice.
When I see that ds2 will browse the Chinese section for bedtime story books and ds1 will self service the English section, I'll feel all that money is well spent. Library is good and we do borrow loads of books. But some books just not that easily available. -
Not a lot. Usually I ask him to bring back at least 2, 1 for him and another for ds2. Sometimes can have more. I’m doing the heavy duty buying so actually it’s more for fun.

I’m lucky so far that Ds1 has been careful with money. So I have not to worry during those book fairs.

Glad I went to the book fair but damage to pocket :slapshead:

Ok la, seems like this is the \"lesser crime\"... Wait till the book shelves give way.... -
I thought I was seeing things but there it is. MPH sale going on (again) from 21 Sep (Friday) to 23 Sep at Expo. note that first day starts at 3pm also. On the good side, turnout may not be so good since there is F1 going on (though I could be wrong because pp who are NOT going F1 may choose to go expo instead).
Another book fair by National Library going on at 15 Sept onwards - prices are likely to be VERY cheap but condition, er, probably not so good. Also at expo. -

Guess what my colleague just told me???
\"You're so old-fashion - who wants paper books now that you have e-books? It's no wonder the bookstores are having book sales after sales.......if they don't get rid of their book stock now, soon they will be overtaken by the e-books and all these paper books will be useless. See how our digital photo has made all the films and prints become obsolete??\" :scared: :oops:
Now I really :scratchhead: if I should really stop buying paper books......DH will be pleased that his bookshelves will not be overloaded then

I’ll still buy in paper form unless school change to e-test or e-exam.
