No problem. For English books, I buy from book depository. The prices are in US$ and they provide free shipping to Singapore. I did some comparsion and can find cheaper books there.

I have bought many books from book depository too I don't bother to go to local bookshops nowadays.

For heavy hardcover books like children's encyclopedia and references, I buy from amazon since they have fixed shipping per book. Total price including shipping can be about 50% cheaper than Kinokuniya.

do you have to wait a long time for your books to arrive? I ordered some books from book depository on 31 Mar and till now, they haven't arrived yet!

The first 30 pages of instructions are important for parents to use the books effectively. If you just point and read, most kids will lose interest very quickly and it will be very difficult to continue. Also, even if you can make them finish reading the 7 books, they would have forgotten most of the words in the earlier books if you don't understand the methods explained in the first 30 pages of instructions. So these books will not be helpful.

Also, I am not sure whether that website is legal or not. It may not have the author's permission to share those files.

Sorry I removed my part. You may also edit your post to remove that. Thanks.
