      May I know if there’re any parents who chose to buy their kid(s) textbooks outside the nominated bookstore?


      I was told by some friends that we could actually buy them from Popular store which will be cheaper but how can we ensure that we get the correct ones?

      Can someone share the source on checking which books/publisher of the books we’re to get online(preferably with pics of the book cover)?

      Thanks.

        Your friend is right.popular is safe n with 5% discount.just pass the booklist to them n they will prepare the books according to the list.only certain books may have to buy it from school,they will
        also let u know.

              Hi, anyone uses Project 18 degrees Chinese supplementary books in school? I'm looking for any old Project 18 degrees vol 7 to 9 books. (P3) Thank you.

              😉

                  I used to buy 1 set of textbooks for a relative whose son is the same age as mine...they are staying overseas. 5% discount off the books when I buy from popular.

                        i did a comparison from my girl school bookshop and Popular. i only save $1 so i bought from my girl bookshop at one go. No point saving $1 buying from Popular.

                        You can ask the lady to show you the price list. just a few cents difference.
