Time to burn a hole in the pocket again. No complaints because books are cheaper at the sale. Thanks, pen88n!

despmom, very True!

I went for the last Popular Fair, the stationary items are so much cheaper.
But the problem is the queuing up to pay even though Popular
have a lot of cashiers, the queue is super long.
Are they clearing old stocks or what?

alanchow76, this popular bookfest is a yearly affair at end of year for parents to stock up on assessment books for the next school year

NTU also holding a mini book fair, but it may be a bit too far for some of you.

Sale: 1 book for $4 , 3 for $10
Others: more than S$5

Take bus 179 and alight at the Lee Wee Nam library.

what kind of books are they selling / clearing ?
for which level ?

hi phtthp

Books on sale are more towards novels, stories,non-fiction & hobbies books. But not sure when the sale is ending.

Alight at Lee Wee Nam Library bus stop and walk up two level of stairs to the level where NTU MacDonalds & Subway is located.

Attached: map of NTU.
Thanks. Hope that answers.

In the Expo website, it was stated 10am-9pm for all 4 days... maybe can lookout for any changes/updates nearer to the fair.

Does anyone know if tomorrow's Times book fair would start at 10am or 3pm?

[iLoveChubby]

Both Expo and TIMES website state that it starts at 10am.

If i go, wil prob drop by in the afternoon… i rem’ber at the last TIMES fair, they were pretty disorganised and were still unpacking the books 3 hours after opening.

For children chapter bks & picture bks (paperbacks), i rem’ber they r at least $3 & up. I dont seem to rember TIMES has similar "buy more, more discount" promotion like MPH bkfairs.

Sorry if this has been asked before, would there be special members’ discounts/promotions on the Members’ Preview day of the Popular Fair at Expo next month? Thanks!

Lowdown on Times bookfair. Overall, I feel can go.


Many non-fiction titles (horrible series [sticker - refer to pricing below], scholastic, national geographic). Some fiction titles (saw Captain Underpants $4 per book, but else not that many authors I was familiar with). Kids books start from $3 per book (even a Nat Geo book on frogs), some are $5.

Books with stickers are $8 a book - 3 for $20, 5 for $30, 10 for $50.

There are stationery items - eg plastic folders, notebooks, faber castel colour pencils that sort of thing. Sorry I didn’t venture to the General/adult section.

If you have a copy of today’s (25 Oct) Today paper, there is a tiny advert in the supplement. cut it out for a FREE Times membership. Thereafter if you buy $50 and more, you can claim a book (stickered ones only) for free. The membership is valid till Dec 2014.

FYI, can claim linkpoints for your purchases, so remember to bring.

[hquek]

maybe should put disclaimer. I didn’t feel the Horrible series were cheap - $8 a book if you only buy 1, lowest is $5 a book if you can get 10.


But in view that John Little sale is history and the $3 a book is unlikely to be repeated…those who want to buy many titles can still consider.
