Best book buys ever!

I hurriedly went to KCC Mall yesterday afternoon with a friend to submit an application form for service crew. We were heading to the personnel department at the 2nd floor when i got a glimpse of this newly opened stall where stockpiles of books grabbed my attention. Bookstores and Book sale always has this certain appeal to me so when we were done with my main purpose in going to the mall, i decided to drop by and take a look at the novels displayed. Unfortunately, i wasn't born to just look at things..

I saw a hardbound copy of Complete Works of William Shakespeare. This classic was hard to let go not to mention rare. it was the only copy they have so I grabbed the book. somehow, i couldn't get a grip of other titles which were also available. i was quite surprised to see that the prices were really really inexpensive for books especially hardbound ones. I wanted to buy more but thanks to my poor status quo, i couldn't afford to add another. The Shakespeare colection was only P275.00 though. Unbelievable, ain't it?

The following morning when i took the exams for the job i am applying for, i went back to the stall. again, i was compelled to find other books i wanted to read to start the summer with. i really had no intentions to buy - at first. but impulsive as i always am, i ended up fighting with my self if i should give away my P238.00 to the cashier. of course, i did pay the cashier - highly predictable. the only thing that consoled me was that i got 3 bestselling novels at that price. nice catch, huh? Here's what i got: A man in full by Tom White (actually, i've been asking a friend of mine to lend me his copy until i finally got my own at P45.00 only), Dracula by Bram Stoker (P105.00) and, my own copy of How Stella got her groove back by Terry Macmillan (P88.00)! it amazed me so much i don't even know if i could finish reading all those given the fact that i'll be such a busy person for the following weeks. Anyway, there were still other books which were being sold at a low, low price. The prices for hardbound books can go as low as P70, all in still good condition and fairly readable compared to the other book sale stall in another mall where they sell twice as much the cost and half less the choices. i've never had this much satisfaction with books i have bought for my collection.

Well, if you do have time, try visiting the place. you might find for yourself stuff you have been wanting to read in your lifetime. :]
