Left BkFair ~8pm.
Left office ~noon, queue up near Dywoks !

Met up with che and her friend,
bought :

Sesame :- 20% off on Chin books, RMM and I bought a series at $98/4 last year, this yr 2 more books in that series was published, $28@ ==> $22.4@ after discount
che bought some Hei Yeung Yueng and other books.
I bought a Hei Yeung Yeung t-shirt for piglet, $99;
and a newly published Hei Yeung Yeung novel, "Spy HYY", $48 ==> $42@
There are free Basic Law books with HYY look on cover.

Then che and her friend went off for lunch and I walked around.

After they had lunch we met up again, went to
PanLloyd (lok see) counter to buy suppl ex.
25% off cos we bought over $800 together, and for some books you buy this book at less 25% and can buy another book at half px.
I already bought suppl ex for P5 and P6, so no need to go to BkFair next yr la.

After that found nothing interesting in Kids Hall, and moved onto opposite hall. Again found nothing there. If you need to order magazines, should go to the Hall 3 opposite the Kids Hall.

Found OUP in Hall 1, but they did not have anything I wanted, which was, namely a pack of graded 4 Chin books, eg P1, P2, ... No Grammar Lab either.

Found some books for PET and KET in Cambridge UP booth and bought several, which I can use for grammar and vocab too.

Cosmos (Heaven / Earth) :
A box set on nature jointly published with Agri & Fisheries Dept, which cost $280 normally, now costs $100 for 10 books. Several $10 books on diff aspects of nature in HK in this counter.

Pg1 :
Engl bks mainly 30% off, some even 40% off or buy 2 get 1. Found some Horr H / HG / HS books, bought 3 HH Handbooks - Warriors, Knights, and HH of the World. Also bought a book "Every Minute on Earth", $91.2 less $27.3.

JsMami, as I said, if you want to buy Dora, Pg1 is less 30% on $39.9

If you can find books from Synergy (v near Pg1 and Dywoks), ~1G11 in location, then many Engl books incl some HH HG and HS are less 40% - the best deal. Too bad they did not have HG HH HS Handbooks.

If anybody is going to non-Kids Hall, pls let me know cos piglet wants a pop-up HK book, but I didn't even see it.

Also in Hall 1 is "eace" bkshop, a lot of TW books, at less 30% irrespective of how many you buy. No need to buy 10 books.

My views :
If you want to buy TW books, the best buy is from Cite which has less 35% for 10+ books.
Otherwise buy from those offering less 30% on any no. of books, eg Peace.
And if anything is higher priced than PTU's 20% - 25% discount, forget it, not worthwhile logging such a heavy load all the way.

In the end I took all the books to my office, and only took those reading books home for piglet. He started on them right away.

I went to the book fair tonight and arrived there at 7:30pm.

Also found the children hall not really attractive!

btw, I spent 2.5 hours there and bought:-

1. Ng Hing Kee - Old Mater Q figures (small $20, big $50) and new released old master Q books (20% off)
2. Sunya - GS chin # 50, 成為傑出少年的10個方法 (25% off)
3. Classroom - 成語練習 x 3 @$10, TSA exe @20
4. Active minds - Jake Drake series by Andrew Clements ($100/4)
5. Sesame - HYY chapter book ($42), 看不見的第36人 (50% off --> $36), 求生大挑戰 ($20% off --> $28)
6. 達運 - eng books: The mystrerious Benedict Society, Schooling around series by Andy Griffths (buy 5 get 30% off)
7. 和平 - 1 taiwan book (25% off)
8. Kinghorn - 2 taiwan books (25% off)
9. Pak Nga $10/book counter - 三國, 西遊, 作文 set (total 22 books = $200)
10. 意進 - Lego set of 1 city police backpack and 1 toy bag ($98)

blue*,

Cannot see there's any free Basic Law books with HYY look on cover at Sunya. Do you have any spare copy for me pls?

Regarding the pop-up Hong Kong book you've mentioned, do you mean 《香港彈起》? I'm afraid it has been out of stock already cos only 300 copies available.



行政長官曾蔭權出席完會展中庭擴建落成儀式後,隨即進入書展會場,參觀了「英語世界」、三聯書店與天地圖書的攤位,以及「中國內地出版展區」,並在在三十分鐘內掃走立體書《香港彈起》及講述熊貓生活的《兩晴相悅》,花費近三百五十元。
《兩晴相悅》作者陳晴表示,該書售價一百元,當她向曾蔭權介紹書本內容時,「(他)一聽到書籍收益會全部撥捐香港海洋公園保育基金,即刻話要買一本。」令她印象深刻。至於另一本獲特首垂青的《香港彈起》,原來同樣深受讀者歡迎。 《香港彈起》標價二百三十多元,主要以紙模型方式,講述本港房屋發展。三聯書店市場營銷部副經理梁麗嫻表示,首批三百本存貨已售出近二百本,反應十分理想,由於全書以人手製作,甚至連印刷商也難以承諾何時完成第二批二百本書籍,因此她預計該書今日有可能賣斷市。

(Something short short dei with this forum again !)

KL,

You bought such a lot of things for so short a visit !!

Yes, I mean HK Pop Up. Didn't even see the counter, which was supposed to be deco with this main theme.

From today's Ming Pao :

【明報專訊】以香港舊區建築為題材的立體書《香港彈起》真的彈起來﹗雖然定價299元(書展八折售240元),但短短兩日的書展已賣出700本,每天存貨均售清。作者笑說每本書都是人手製作,比外國的立體書定價便宜一截,其實十分「抵買」。


《香港彈起》是香港出版界首本立體書,近似立體聖誕卡的原理,打開書頁時,城寨、牛頭角下、唐樓等紛紛彈出。
.............


出版社整個攤位都以《香港彈起》為設計主題,十分醒目。三聯負責人表示,《香港彈起》打折後售239.9元,但兩日已售出700本,每天的存貨都售清,


So if any buddy can buy 1 for me pls ....

A reminder to BkFair buddies :

For some stalls offfering good discount in BkFair, really must know the "real" px outside, cos I found 2 Alex Rider graphic novels in 1 very small stall offfering 30% discount, orig px was marked as HK$150@, ==> $105 after discount.

But in Pg1, the same books were marked at HK$128@ ga ja, ==> $89.6

Remember to buy HH HG HS books from Synergy which offers less 40%, instead of Pg1 which offers less 30%, if they have the title !

And for the TW Glowworm Publisher's Chin books, I found a lot of them in either SunYa or Little Sesame (forgot exactly which one), with even more titles than Cite in WanChai. But less discount than Cite. So prefer to wait till after BkFair then buy from Cite in Aug.

I also want《香港彈起》too!

If any buddy will go to Hall 1, pls get 1 for me la!

blue*,

For the new Reading 1-2-3 titles, I think you can place order with Cite (at no cost) and they will try to get the desired books for you.

Actually Cite offers 30% discount for 東方 & 遠流 books any time, hence no rush.

btw, where is Synergy counter?

《香港彈起》





《香港彈起》是香港出版界首本立體書,近似立體聖誕卡的原理,打開書頁時,城寨、牛頭角下邨、唐樓等紛紛彈出。作者劉斯傑本身在動畫設計公司任職,為了製作立體書,索性辭工。「其實我很後知後覺,近一兩年天星、皇后、喜帖街等保育抗爭,才令我赫然發現,原來很多舊建築已不存在。」收集外國立體書的他,認為以立體形式呈現建築物會更有趣,「讀者可以打橫看,又可以偷窺內部」。


简介 · · · · · ·   本書是圍繞作者自己家族的搬遷歷程,精選了六個極具香港特色的居住形態,為其製作了六款紙雕。
  當中包括廣式唐樓、木屋、徒置區、九龍城寨、公屋和商住洋樓。
  同時,本書立體地呈現了建築物的結構、外貌、內觀及其他細節。每章節更加插了兩本小書,為真實的故事添補些細節,每章節更有中英對照簡介,特價售239元。

BS & KL,
Too bad I only saw your msg now after coming home from Book Fair today. I saw HK PopUp Book at "Zam Luen" this afternoon. 20% off $299! But didn't see any people buying, just took a look only.

I agree with BS that some bookstores (eg. Sunya) marked up some HH books & give out only 25% at most?! But Synergy's list price is $8x only & gives 40% off.

KL,
I bought a Lego bag today too. What a coincidence. I also preferred the black police bag but it didn't have any pockets. I invited 2 boys to vote & I called my son, they all preferred the blue bag with Knights on it! So Kv & my son won't mix up their bags!

Actually, I wish I could take a day off to hunt more goodies in the adults hall.
