I love books and to score books for cheap prices? Well, that's the icing on the cake.
Books-for-Less recently held their annual booksale.
This event runs this month of August.
THE PROS:
-They are open during weekends
-All books are only Php20 each.
THE CONS
-Location is a little hard to get to
-A few number of books are mutilated and all are dusty.
-Cannot use credit card, cash only
-Almost 80% of the books are children's books
This event is a great way to stock up on children's books. They give you a small variety in different fields though. I was able to find a watercolor book on flowers and the Tightwad Gazette by Amy Dacyczyn, so those were steals.
If you ever decide to go though, here are my tips.
TIPS
-Bring an ecobag. There are no baskets available.
-Come in early. Opening is at 9;00am and I suggest you go there before it opens because it does tend to be crowded by noon.
-Bring smaller bills
-Bring alcohol and tissues. The place and the books are dusty and before long your hands will bear the marks of your labor.
-Patience is a virtue, learn to exercise it.
It's worth a Saturday to look at the books.
