Books I Got From The National Bookstore Cut Price Sale 2013

     Hay, both the Bookfair and the National Bookstore Cut Price sale are over.  I can now breathe a sigh of relief(?) ... buying season is officially over. Hehe!

     I was trying to get to as much branches as I could but I only made it to 5 : Glorietta, Greenbelt, MOA, Shopwise Sucat and Festival Mall.  Well, with the sale being on for only 10 days, that's the most I could do.

    Here's what I got from the sale:

Lessons learned during the sale:

1. Grab a cart.  Perfect for that hands free experience.

2. Grab all the books you like before others grab them.  Madali naman ibalik sa shelf ang hindi mo bibilhin.

3. Don't buy a book just because it is cheap or discounted.  Think hard about whether you really love it or not.

4. Don't calculate.  This only happens once or twice a year.  May discount naman e.

  

P.S. I have not read any of my last year's loot, hehehe!

 Some tips I learned from last year's Book Fair:
1. Come on the first day.  You'll get first dibs on all books.
2. Now is not the time to be mahinhin, mabagal or courteous. Everyone there is out to buy books, therefore, maraming kaagaw at kalaban. hehe!
3. Have a plan.  Download the lay-out ahead of time so you can head straight to the booths most important to you.  
4. Bring your sugar daddy para bilmoko 'non, bilmoko n'yan.
5.  No regrets! Get what you want because this only happens once a year.
