Piles and piles of books. They're in shelves, in boxes, stacked on top of wooden palettes and arranged on tables. Unfortunately the setup's a bit here-and-there, so finding what you want can be a bit tough.
But it's a chance to buy the books you didn't want to or couldn't buy last year or the year before that - or the year before the year before that.
Yes, it's kind of like BookXcess, only a bit bigger, warmer and dustier. With a bit less comfort and even less parking space. It's not called a warehouse sale for nothing.
But there are books. Lots of them. A whole section is just lined with young adult novels. A whole palette piled with the Game of Thrones series and box sets. If anyone's still interested, I think there's one palette stacked with Dr M's memoir, going for RM70 each.
I got myself a couple of Agatha Christies, as well as a Terry Pratchett I used to read repeatedly, along with The Truth. Appointment with Death was going for RM15 instead of RM29.90.
No Jane Austen for me. I'm not prepared.

ReplyDeleteY'know, a lot of M'sians would still consider that expensive...while complaining about it on their iPad or iPhone.
Khairul H.: Or BlackBerrys and other assorted smartphones and tablets. Which tend to be "upgraded" every couple of years or so.
ReplyDeleteJust goes to show, doesn't it?
gosh, warehouse sales.. reminds me of the time in uni when we had to sit in buses for 3-4 hours just to get there!
