Hahahaha. I was immitating Dory in the movie Nemo while she stands on a podium and says to a group of sharks and clown fish that she'd never eaten fish before. ;)
Seriously, I am a bargain book hunter. It's a challenge for me to dig into bargain books trying to look for a second hand novel that would finally complete a selection. I have successfully completed a number of sets and to name a few:
- The First and Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever
- The Wheel of Time
- The Sword of Truth
This car is NOT yellow!
So during lunch break, me and Rufus went to Makati Cinema Square to look for books. So while parking, a picanto passed us by. Luckily, I had my phone with me when the it turned around in the parking lot and I was able to take a snap shot.
I will tell you that I don't like the color but I will tell you that the car looked elegant with it.
Oh, before I forgot, I found a really worn copy of The Shipping News by Annie Proulx which won the Pulitzer Prize. I got it for 60Php.

how much was the picanto then? they said the price then was lower :(
I found my Thomas Covenant Chronicles set at Booksale. I couldn't believe it when I saw all SIX books in one shop; mint condition, medium sized paperback binding. Best P500 bucks I spent.
BTW, i spotted Book I of the Third Chronicles of Thomas Covenant at National. It may take a long time before this hits the Booksale circuit and I'm not sure i want to wait. :)
Hello chdz.
You should keep a look-out for the books under the "Gap" series by the same author. Its a space-opera with mind bending plots. The mystery and suspense is really good.
Funny thing is, I completed my series through National Bookstore. :)
I forgot, I have the hard bound version of Book 1 for the 3rd chronicle. I got it from Powerbooks though.
bathala,
i've been looking for the Gap series for ages, but all i find are ratty looking copies in Booksale with broken spines and torn covers. if i get desperate, i'll probably order it from A Different Bookstore.
Hi! just wondering if you could tell me where I could get bargain books specially that of the sword of truth. Thanks!
