This warehouse sales is different from the previous held for the past 2-3 years as those were held by MPH Bookstore. This is by MPH Distributors. The last time they had one was about 4 yrs ago and it was MASSIVE. By far bigger than the warehouse sales in August08.
Book lovers, do not miss this one.
I love book so must go this whouse sale…already write in my schedule warehouse sale…hehehe appy shoppg.
must love books… must go……arrgghh!
Can someone tell me where is it? I looked at the google map and is still confused!!!
Appreciate the help
I might not be able to make it; I’m gonna be out of town that weekend.
Oh well.. see how it goes, lah.
Hi Jean, if not mistaken, it is somewhere behind Jaya 33. After you passed Jaya 33 on your right, turn right at the next junction. It should be somewhere there.
to jean, just take the putra LRT and get off at the Asia Jaya station. then just take a cab giving them the address, they shud know already.
to fei and miss anon, hi sweetie, thanks you so much for yr help. I’ve an idea roughly how to go there already. Thanks again and have a nice day!
Can somebody give me dirction if i want to go there from Bandar Baru Bangi. I’m not familiar with that place.
hi everyone
MPH Distributors office is on the same road as F&N dairies / Shiseido / BluInc / Glad Tidings church. the other way is when you see Colgate Palmolive on your left, turn left & go straight. Our warehouse is on the right hand side. for any enquiries, kindly contact 03 7958 1688.
fantastic bargains not to be missed!!!
see you there!
Those who went for the last sale……Any idea if they have Danielle Steel books? is it also discounted?
who know how many %% discount? it’s really cheap? i want to buy some books for my children
This is a MPH Distributors warehouse sales… not MPH Bookstores.
I want to buy flash card for my kids. any there?
Actually what is the difference btw MPH Distributors & MPH Bookstores ? Maybe someone can explain to me. I called them up & was told that not all books selling in MPH Bookstores will be available for MPH Distributors .
AA, I think there’s not really any “discount”. Still it should be cheaper than you’ll find during normal ’sales’. Everything are sold well below the RRP but i think the best thing about this WHouse sales is the variety of books you’ll find here. It’s really MASSIVE. The last time it was held, i spent about RM2K there. :’( gonna be big hole in my wallet again this time.
RAV, there should most definitely be Danielle Steel – she’s everywhere whenever there’s a book sales. But my advise is to look out for “PAY LESS BOOKS” sales. It’s cheaper as it’s secondhand (some condition are still quite good), on top of that during sales they have up to 50% discounts.
Mel, what you mean not really discount? That means not even minimum 50% discount? Then minimum discount % that can be expected of this warehouse?
Hye…
does anybody know whether they will sell Sophie Kinsella & Cecilia Ahern books?
i am looking foe those book only…
hope i can get it at a cheaper price…
thnx…
Anybody who wanna to let go sophie kinsella or cecilia ahern books?
i’ll be appy to buy it from you…
thnx again…
OK… I’m telling from whatever i can remember from 3-4 yrs ago (which was the last time MPH distributer had a WH sales) … they just have price tags on them books. Meaning a book you see selling for RM100 normally, they might be selling for RM30-RM70.
There’s no straightforward discounts (maybe there will be this time, i don’t know), it’s more like “best buys”. But i can say that the books that i bought were way cheaper than when they are on sale at MPH bookstore or any other bookstore. Probably some books would be the same price you get from other WH sales.
rina,
sophie kinsella will be around rm25-28. Ibought it early this yr at the same wrhs. I also looking for this writer’ novel this time. hope still at the lower price. jommmm grab it!:)
hi…got malay novel or not? ( alaf 21 )
dear fira…
thnx for the info!
really appreciate it…
yup…lets grab the book!!!
it’s reli reli cheap! i went for the warehouse sale by MPH distributor on 2006. Memoirs of Geisha just released that time and they were selling at RM20 only if I’m not mistaken. Definitely not to be missed! oh yeah….u can also wait for certain hour of the day where they’ll announced something like ” it’s the ‘bla bla bla’ hour!any ‘bla bla bla’ book is selling at rm10 in this hour!” yeah…something like this as I remember…
am so happy they are having this sale again. the last one was year 2006 yet. there were lots of children’s books and bestseller books. the place was really big and it was fun going around the place and browsing over the books on sale. definitely cheaper than bookstore rates.
hi, i’m from MPH Dist. Very happy that everyone’s excited about our whse sale
we look fwd to seeing all of you there! we will have thousands of bestsellers / children / travel guide / cookery / local / comics / young adult / business / self help /chick lit books @ unbelievable prices!

all the books are already at a discounted price – and the bargain is really great.

but for those of you who bring your own car..the parking will be nightmare
Can U suggest us how to solve this parking problem?
Hi Rina,
I only have 1 book by Sophie Kinsella…which is “Shopaholic and Baby”.
I bought the book at rm30+. The book is like brand new.
I can be contacted at bubb13s@hotmail.com if anyone is interested to buy 2nd hand book.
Can anyone one tell me what type of children book available? I’m more interested on book for kid around 1 to 3 year olds. Thanks.
Hi Joanna,
any books by david baldacci, michael crichton and stephen king? i collect most of their books already, but there are some titles still missing from my shelf.
also, what’s the difference between MPH distributors and MPH bookstores? i think a couple of people here have raised this question before, but you might have overlooked it.
thank u.
Tkx blackie007 to raise my question again…Really wanted to know. Called them as per tel. no. given above, but was told the bilingual cookery books that I looking for are not available though MPH bookstores have wide range available.
hi joanna. thank you for the info. am sooo looking forward for this sale. been waiting for it. i was able to go to the one you had way back 2006.
You’re welcome, Ko. I’m curious, too.
I was wondering if old classics will be on sale. Stuff like:
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
Catch-22 by Heller
Blood Meridaan by Cormac McCarthy
Appointment in Samara by John O’Hara
Animal Farm by George Orwell
Catcher in the Rye by Salinger
The Great Gatsby
Lolita
Slaughterhouse-Five
Crime and Punishment
Hemmingway’s books
etc
I hope that the books listed by Kev would be there at the sale as I’d love to get my hands on them too
To add on, I’d like to buy books by Elizabeth George, Susan Grafton, Clive Cussler and Agatha Christie.
Will definitely head over to the sale
hi blackie007 – MPH Distributors are distributors of books whereas MPH Bookstores is the retailer. we are sister companies under MPH Group. there are many distributors in the same industry, not only us, so we don’t carry all titles you see in the bookstores. hope its clearer now
I have shopaholic series to let go as well in very good condition and very low price.
Kev, there’s a copy of lolita too which is still brand new that I wish to let go at a low price.
cheers!
enjoy the sales peeps!
May i know any cookbook by Agnes Chang (Author) in this coming warehouse sale? with discount?
Dear Joanna,
Would there be Dorothy Garlock books? Not easy to come by …
hi, will there be any books from neil gaiman, judith mcnaught, jude devaraux or even jeffrey archer and khalid hosseini as last year, we went totally finish.
Hi there… just wondering whether there’ll be any Mangga/Bleach comic books on sale there?
Hi boo boo chai
For Dorothy Garlock books go to Pay Less, have seen quite a few…
el
OH GAD!!.. I’ve bought Narnia for 50 over bucks!!! argghh…. #regret# #regret#

YAH! Please go. I was there and waited 1 hour still cannot get a place to park. All the building around is tightening security so almost impossible to park. Well you can try
phew..lucliky i read your comments…thnx frank..was about to leave in 5 mins…have to wait another day!!!!!!!!
i can’t believe we can kill 2 (shopping) birds with 1 stone this weekend!! I’m so happy because of the zara sale, but my bf will be more than happy to bring me there coz he loves books!
Hi there,
I am looking for some children books for my 1yo. Dun mind the lady bird series or if there’s anything else? Can anyone recommend any books for her and whether it is available at this sales? And what are the price range like?
Joanna: Can you help?
mamasyira,
there will be a ‘Pesta Buku Alaf21′ on 31/10 – 2/11 in shah alam. u can visit their website http://www.alaf21.com.my for further details.
i m torn between these 2 sales…must divide my budget carefully.
Just went there, yes, its hard to get parking nearby. So we park at Nissan (farrrrr occay), and stroll down to the warehouse.
Stephanie Meyer Twilight Saga are on sale, and the first three saga sold around 20 something, the last series is RM32.
Neil Gaiman’s book – RM20 and bought some Cecilia Ahern’s book for RM20.
Pls bare in mind, its very hot. I went around 11.30am-1pm. Macam nak pengsan. But worth it.
Children books also a lot, but need to be patient and browse the isle.
Happy Shopping!!!
Lonely planet books….how many percent discount? really only 30% discount? Matta sales and Citibank card special also 30% and if so, not worth it la…..
Any ladybird books or any books suitable for a one year old? If yes, what’s the name/price range. Thanks.
Well I only managed to find three of the classics I listed in post 46:
Catcher in the Rye (rm20)
Catch-22 (rm18)
Crime and Punishment (rm8)
Also bought
American Gods
A Spot of Bother
Good Omens
All for rm20.
Hi folks! Just came back from MPH warehouse sales. It is really ware house la. So here are some tips
1. Dress Light it’s HOT!
2. They accept Cash & Credit
3. Go with someone else who can wait in the car.
4. Place is huge so be prepared to spend at least 1 hour in there.
5. HItz FM was there giving away free drinks & freebies
6. Saw some ppl brought their own trolleys SMART!
7. They will replenish stocks
8. PRices might go down along the way too as was shared to us by MPH staff…..but if U go early U have selection lor. Give & take i suppose.
ok la that’s all the rest pls share your experience also la.
Happy Happy, thanks for the info..
i’m going tomorrow morning…
I agree with everyone…parking is just horrible!!! Had to ’round’ for nearly 1 hour to try and get a spot!
Amd i think the last sale they had in Damansara was much better…books were actually cheaper
Maybe weekends will be better when the office cars are not there…..but this weekend with the ZARA sales going on…..it’ll be a challenge. So still good to have someone wait in the car.
Sabrina, did they have sale in Damansara recently? missed that one
is there many sophie kinsella’s & cecelia ahern’s book there?
oh and the mystery gift for purchases above rm150 was… well… rather underwhelming. I’m not sure if they will be pleased if i listed them out, suffice to say that all my friends and i were pretty stumped to be given objects which really isnt of any use. haha. XD
yeah i saw some kinsella and ahern books. i dont read them and i dunno who they are but my friend bought one of the books i think.
you guys can probably just double-park near UTAR (be sure to leave ur hp number on the dashboard!) though you run the risk of getting a summons. it’s a 2-5 minute walk from there to the place.
hei, i just came back from the sale, was happy and i think it was worth it, travelling fr cyber…but i was quite shock to find Paradise fr Judith Mcnaught ban in Malaysia,but the books were as low as rm 20, narnia was for rm15. not that crowded so i had time to browse around, yup..parking can be a problem.. and some books that i wanted, was not available. but at the end of the day it was worth it, book lovers from children to the golden age will enjoy it! credit card accepted.
I drove over right after work (at 6 pm) and managed to get two books even though I had less than an hour to look around.
I still find the books expensive for a warehouse sale. Might go back again on Monday if I remember to.
It was really enjoyable warehouse sale that I have been thru , ever since.Kudos to the organizer!!Parking was fine, location is strategic and spacious,weather and condition are soothing, customer service excellent.
Well done…definitely will be there for the next sale!adios…
oria sang, where did u park?
There would be more new stuff added to the warehouse sales for sure. Freebies were one of the newer attempts this time and so was Hitz cruisers etc… the books are already going at like dirt cheap, some more than 50% – what to expect of the free items? There are the sun promotion for free books for first 10 customers per day, star coupons, free items for people who buy during the preview and first day… a lot is definitely going on.
I must be really lucky today, got parking immediately when I reach:
A few tips:
- Not all the books are cheap. I bought some books in Big Bookshop (exactly same) for lesser price. But then MPH got wider selection until dono wic to buy coz need to budget.
- A bit messy, all the children books all over the place (I guess they want us to walk entire whse to entice us to buy other books too!) some not priced.
- Using your own mini trolley is better if you intend to buy lots, carrying the basket with books is physically taxing.
- Check your books if buying children bks / jigsaw bks – there may be missing pieces or torn pages.
- MOST IMPORTANT bring a pkt of wet wipes to clean yr hands after shopping coz the books are really dusty. There’s a toilet there but no hand soap!
Hi,
Was at the sale at about 2pm. Had to park further up the road because it was really congested. Only looked at children’s books, here’s a summary of what I can remember:
1) Dr.Seuss softcovers – RM10 each
2) Lotsa good quality Usborne books, Usborne Young Reader series RM7
3) Mr.Men series – RM5
4) Tintin – RM18
5) Barney softcover picture storybooks
6) Enid Blyton hardcover- published by Egmont – RM8
7) Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew series – RM10
Not all the children’s books are stacked up systematically so make sure you have the time to look through the boxes of jumbled up titles. Hope this helps.
Hi All
I been there yesterday. Damn good, its cheap. Cecilia Ahern’s n Sophie’s book only RM20. Same goes to Jodi Picoult but some also only RM15. No wonder I can’t find Paradise, it was ban. There are twilight series for who searching for it. But can’t remember how much.
Have a nice browser to who is going there. Bring a lot of money ok?
Hi, I went there yesterday around 6pm. Managed to get some book. A lot of books here compare to Damansara WHS. But the children books at Damansara are much more cheaper…….
Erm…if I park at Jaya 33, would it be very far to walk? No one buying Lonely Planets or any other travel books? Thanks.
Loved it!! Was lucky enough to get parking without waiting. Missed the happy hour though. Bought some books from the MPH Damansara WH sale last time.. was dissapointed to see that it was CHEAPER HERE!!! Did anyone see any flashcards?
Got mystery gift meh? I spent about $300 oso didn’t get any.
those who got dun complain la.. free one some more want to complain ka?
Anyone got the free gift from the Sun’s coupon? What was it?
Got to say one thing.. the staffs were very friendly & helpful.
What are the times for the happy hour? So where is the best place to park? hehe
why paradise banned?? i have 1 but it’s the first version so not so good anymore. thought wanna buy new one. how about perfect?
hey what books were given out to the first 10 customers with a copy of the Sun?
also, anyone seen any of the below titles there? I might have missed them or they werent on the shelves on the first day…
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
Blood Meridaan by Cormac McCarthy
Appointment in Samara by John O’Hara
Animal Farm by George Orwell
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut
thanks!
I totally agree that the employees were very friendly and helpful.
I don’t think they have Lolita there. If they seen it i will have gotten it for myself.
Lots of Narnia, and Tolkien. For Narnia fans, i think the 7 in 1 for RM15 is worth buying because they are also selling those in set for RM 50++.
I believe they will still lower the price on the last day.
To walk from Jaya 33 is quite far. Try to park around Dream Centre or Roche then walk there.
Those intend to go on Sunday, keep in mind that Dream Centre will have their church services, and Dataran Hammodal is having Zara sales too. It will be pack like mad.
Paradise banned? Wonder why… I just saw a bundle last saturday at MPH midvalley…
Lots of Enid Blyton? What about children’s annuals? Any idea?
just went mph w/house sale so excited about it and some more just opposite my office… so lucky i manage to my fav books with cheap price..and some children book with cost average rm5-rm10..and the zara sale gonna take a peek tomorrow cause oso near my office too..sgt syiok!!!
opps sorry loys of enid blyton books oso u have to go at the back of the w/house lot u’ll see more books…forget about the price i think around RM9 per book..
Darn. I was looking for catch-22 but I couldnt find one. It must be one of you who took my copy. Hehehehe.
I think I saw Slaughterhouse-5 in Bookxcess for RM15. So if you could not find it here, there’s always another place.
Agree with that the whole place was hot, and dusty. The books were everywhere, it was impossible to look for specific titles. Unless if you are patient enough to skim through everything at every corner.
I suppose they could make do with a little organisation. We are talking thousands of titles here. I for one, am not prepared to spend all day looking for what I want.
But if you are looking for just any good bargain, this warehouse sale is heaven.
Haha, there was still one copy of catch-22 when I left. It’s on the stand next to the one housing all the grisham books. Somewhere in that area lah I remember… near the big bunch of jodi picoult books. It’s bigger sized than the average paperback.
I would like to purchase Bulvgaroi (White) in a tester no box is that possible?
catch 22 – there was a brand new box of stocks that came in the last i saw. no children annuals lar.
fara omar, do they have all the title for cecillia,sophie kinsella and jodi?
or just a few?mind to name a few?
how about the price range?below 20 for all that?
i dare not go to this one..its so good i almost went bankrup the last time i went there..already a bankrupcy candidate after goin to the MJ w/hse sales..LOL! an extreme booklover like me is trying really..really hard not to get enticed by this sale!!!err..i did say “TRIED”…;P
Sophie Kinsella titles available (RM20) :
1. Shopaholic Abroad (2001)
2. Shopaholic Ties the Knot
3. Shopaholic and Sister
4. Shopaholic and Baby
5. Can You Keep a Secret?
6. The Undomestic Goddess
7. Remember Me?
I think that’s almost the whole series..
