Not crowded and the young temp staff were all yawning and chit chatting away.
Assessment books standard 20%+ off.
Children's EL storybooks 25% off if buy 2 or more, altho there are selected titles (esp fiction ones fr Miles Kelly) going for 30-40% off.
Nothing exciting.
Those who had been to the last Ultimate Sale, do lower your expectations if you are going for this one.

It is termed as the \"Hair Rising Sale\" but my shortest hair barely even move.

Btw there is a TIMES bookfair on 18/4 - 22/4 at Expo.

[magiccastle]

The sale is not as big as the previous in dec 2012. selection for stationery not that great .

Yes, there is plastic sheet protectors on sale . Computer stuff not much.
Whether worth going or otherwise, depend on what u are looking for.
