Got the following message from amazon:

Can't figure out their shipping cost system.
For books, is it for each set, or each book ? or same title ?

?-(

The Box Set was published in Oct 2008, orig px 30 lbs. Can't understand why its soooooo cheap (by Horr bk standards).

Also, seems that Horr Hist has 3x more books than Horr Sc, while there're only 12 books unde Horr Geog.

KL,

MTH Res Guide should be more interesting than the story books.

Cheapest in the market is from PTU (teacher's union) but you need to go several times to collect more titles. Unfortunately you need a card.
Px there is below $50, should be around $49 or 47.5.

Besides shipping cost, Amazon charge PER ITEM cost. So it's cheaper to order SET than INDIVIDUAL BOOK.

It's really jetso for us to order this big set at such a price and shipping!!

PS. I found the same set in ebay is around GBP2x (postage not included).

If PTU is just $47~ $49, then seems not really cheap.

I'd better wait for next round book sale of CP or 3-Luen to get 10~15% discount.

KL,

Sorry, wrong info :

Should be MTH Research Guides in PTU = $32.9@, orig px (Step One) = $49@, i.e. 30% discount.

May be cheaper from Sch BkClub, but then not always available as you can see from their monthly lists, and not in 1 pack, usually 1 MTH book + 1 corresponding research guide.

I went to watch the event yesterday as my girl played in the percussion band too. Wow, the standard of the schools nowadays is so high. The tuned percussion was so good that I thought I have been to an orchestra instead. The teams which won are very professional.

Will you go to the Winners' concert in April?
