Book sale
Last Friday, I made use of the long lunch hour to go to a warehouse book sale. The first time I did that was last year to an MPH Distributors warehouse sale. I first read about this Pearson/Penguin Publishing in Sharon Bakar's Bibliobibuli blog, but thought that the books would only be limited to those published by Pearson/Pigeon. It's only when I read the comment left by UmmuAhmads here that I thought that - ok, maybe there would be other books. And there are. And they were cheap, too!
These are what I bought. 11 adult books and 6 children books set me back by RM190. It's very tempting to grab more books because the prices are roughly a third of what they would cost at retail price. But I had to stick to my budget.
This time, I invited a friend from office, A to join me. She helped with the navigation. She said the sale had exceeded her expectation. On our way back, she was positively glee as she contemplated her haul, which was significantly more than mine. (I already told her I wanted to borrow some of the books she chose hehe..) "With these, I don't need friends anymore," she joked.

a third? nice deal!
kat mana ni kak? kawan saya slalu tanye mana akak bole tahu dan cari buku murah2 nih
zidni, (eh - zidni?)
yes, the price is good. but the downside is you can't exactly bring a list of books you want to buy and get them there. it's more like 'tengoklah apa yang ada'.. you can get lucky, or very lucky.. depending..
btw, hope you like the book 'inside steve's brain' tu. pastu kakngah nak pinjam nnt tau hehe. tak dikira 'buruk siku' sbb pinjam je kan?
musaf,
ni kat pj. last day semalam (11th). sorry sbb tak announce & share info awal2. akak takdelah dpt tahu semua books sale, kalau kebetulan baca announcement kat bibliobibuli blog, or shoppingnsales.com, or other bloggers yg share the news. sometimes mph hantar email..
actually, it's more adventurous - you never know what you'll get. but books are books... never a waste to buy em.
boleh, tp pulang balik lah.
thanks by the way. it looks like a great book, baru start nak baca.
zidni,
that reminds me - i hvnt returned your book 'how to have a beautiful mind' by edward de bono.. i have started reading it, tapi tak brp ada traction lah.. would still like to finish it, so ok - will make it a point to finish that book soon...
konon nak pergi, tapi fikir balik, udahlah..maybe next year :p
ensem munief nih!!
