To BEST,

Hi, Is MPH planning to do a book fair / warehouse sale in Penang ? Penang seems to be missing out on Book Sales.

Went today and was a bit disappointed. Wanted to get some of the new children’s books. Similar stock was sold at the recent MPH warehouse sale in Dataran Hamodal at a discount of 30%. In this sale these books went for 20% only. If you are a Kidz Club and MPH member who has spend more then RM1000 the discount and rebate together are also about 20%. Thus no real advantage! Luckily I had the newspaper advert which offered a rebate of RM5 for RM150 spent. That was at least an added 3%! The staff as usual were friendly and helpful. Got an unpacked baby cloth book for RM2.00 only. And as usual the carry to the car service was excellent – even with the heavy rain!

just went from this sale.

quite ok la..most of them masih baru, even value buy from rm8 onwards. there is alot of nice book/novel rm10 only.

I bought sophie kinsella with 30%, got nice one for only rm16 after disc. however other still expensive, rm35 (b4 disc).
there is also toys for kids from rm5 to rm50. children book also in a good quality.

tak ramai org sgt, but dont know why parking crowded. maybe cos around there ada offices.

Hi! clownkiller. would really appreciate to have your info. which titles are selling not much diff than actual price sold in mph bookstore itself or tad bit higher than in other bookshop. Our team is very concern that we are selling higher than the bookshops! We share comments from customers evry morning before we start the fair and will go after the vendors. It is Rule no 1, our prices must always be lower than the regular prices in the bookshops! We are also customers and booklovers.

Have to leave for the fair, hope to see your info.

Hi ! Ping. As any booklover, I was also at BBW got some RM 8 for some fiction. The choice and titles , can I say are different from our fairs. Would love to get my hands on RM 8 for some of the titles at our fair, but not everything boleh. But this month will have to go on a diet, not for health but going to pokai, becos of the code 14 , refer to my comment to Krusty.

Old lim Kwok Wing better but DUSTY! We will stay away from dusty places from now on.

in response to Ely – traffic is heavy after working hours due to the traffic light and narrow lane and it gets really bad it it was raining.. if u’d really like to go after all the other comments about the price and the unorganize books, i’d recommend going there on weekend – free parking and if the parking space is full, u can always park at the restaurant across the dewan called Showru…

p/s: if u come on sun, when ur’e bout to enter the parking, and if there’s someone ask u to pay the parking, pls do ask why u need to pay such thing as the dewan belongs to MBPJ and by right, it should be free parking… just a thought…
