OMG! So early already got long queue ah? BBW sure have many fans.
Open sesame!
One thing that you need to know about box sales is that the books are remainders from previous sale.
Some of it may not be at tip-top condition.It may be dusty and have some wear and tear but if you have the patience you will find some lovely books.
Books were flying off the tables as eager shoppers spots books that they wanted.
This year choice were not as good as last year.But it is better that the years before. There are plenty of books to choose from but you need time to go through it.
For me its easy. I immediately zoom into the children books section where I bumped into one of my
Yes after all it's a box sale, right? We need to buy an empty box/boxes and fill it with books. Yup its not a per book sale . It more like a book buffet where we can fill the box with as many books as we want (provided the box can close properly) and bring it home.
This is our boxful of books
Full to the max. Wanna see my loot?
Jeng! Jeng! Jeng!

We did a good job. We managed to squeeze in 70 books in to the RM99.90 box. That mean is less than RM1.50 per book

DeleteYes Kathy. While Malaysians on the whole don't prefer to read, instead the prefer the picture world, I am so proud you are continuing with the reading culture.
ReplyDeleteIt's really nice to see that your kid is into books. Cool! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI should say Thank You Very Much to Mamarazzi for alerting me on this books sale. I was so sleepy that morning but had to drag myself to eat a proper meal at Starling. Bingo! It was so coincident that we could visit the book fair.
ReplyDeleteNow we have won the photo contest which was unexpected. Even the guy who posed with me actually bumped into me there. We ended up sharing the box for our books and snapped a photo on our way out. Now have to share the prize. Dunno what will the prize be.
ReplyDeleteI read the reviews complaining about the condition of books, decided not to go.
ReplyDeleteOh well, have a lot of unread ones around the house.
I wish I were there - my kids' schools would welcome these books for the school library, as long as they are still readable.
