MPH Warehouse Sale

Sorry about the long delay in posts, guys! We'd been wanting to update for a while now but found ourselves pretty caught up the last few weeks. We've moved houses (alright, it's really not a big deal, our new room is about a 25 minute walk from the last one...) and been working to get everything together for our upcoming trip to Ohio from the end of this month through about halfway through May.

 (yeah, this doesn't have anything to do with the post. but look how pretty it is outside our place now!)

We finally got a bit of downtime today and took advantage of it to get down to the MPH Warehouse Sale at Expo. Unfortunately, we're a bit late to be informing anyone as it ends in about two hours. In any case, the sale ran from Friday until today and it's definitely something we'll be visiting the next time one pops up.

 

(look at the low number of people! what is this elbow room?)

We're thinking whoever was in charge of advertising didn't do such a hot job because not only did we just manage to find out about the sale in time but there was seriously hardly anyone there. For a sale in Singapore this is unheard of.

MPH isn't a name that many will recognize in America. And to be perfectly honest, with branches of Borders and Kinokuniya across Singapore, it isn't nearly the most recognizable name in book sales in Singapore either. But they do have good sales. Rather than the typical book sale fare of books no one's ever heard of, it seemed nearly all the books here were classics or popular books they simply had too many of. The prices were pretty awesome too, with hardbacks going for $8 SGD and most paperbacks for only $5 SGD. All books are brand new in excellent condition too!

Although I only grabbed a few books this round, they were well worth every cent. We made sure to sign up for the mailing list so we'll be informed for the next sale, and if you're interested you can join in too here. And if you're the type who loves getting some new books, the National Library Sale will also be coming up in the next few months (English books for $2 each!), and there's going to be a NLB Book Exchange in about a week as well. There's no info out yet about the first point, but for the exchange you can find what you need here.

(not bad for about $10 USD, eh?)

And just so I don't feel so bad for not letting anyone know about this sale until it was too late, remember to get your free Ben & Jerry's ice cream scoop this Tuesday for the Free Cone Day! Locations here.
