        Is it worth going? Do they sell A4 sheet protectors in bulk? How about printer or marker ink refills?

          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.
          I got the stuff I want .

                Was at TIMES bookfair earlier today (FAIR TILL THIS SUN).

                It was good, better than the recent MPH bkfair.
                Horrible histories/geo books are going for $4.. plus a wide range of children's books (mainly chapter books).
                Prices range fr $3 to $9.
                Customers can redeem a free book (worth $6) for every $50 purchase.
                The staff was nice enough to tell me I could actually cut out the newspaper adv (thk in ST today) and redeem the book without any purchase.

                Chanced upon this book that is going for $6 :
                http://www.amazon.com/Why-Grades-Happen-Good-Kids/dp/0825305772
                I thk all stressed up parents shd read this.
                I am into chapter 2 and loving it.

                Other than the freezing hall that totally numbed my fingers and ached my jaws, it is def a worthy trip.

                    at which floor n timing for book fair?hv not been to city sq b4....

                    It's on the 1st floor, there's an open space after Metro, the books are behind another clothing sales, if you are coming fr Metro side.

                    I saw readers fr Sunshine, rocket too, lucky I don't use them or else pocket big big big hole liao.

                    I wonder why series, hardcover, $2.90 and if you buy 2 copies, $5.

                    YS per copy is $1.90.

                    There are some Dr Suess bks too

                    Not sure what time they start and end. But I guess 1 hr after mall opening and 1 hr before mall closing should be safe.

                    They only accept cash hor.

                    The 2nd hand books that I see, condition still good.

                    The sales till this Sun
