I find the Times sales a rip-off sometimes! I have purchased books, apparently "on sale" and went home later to remove their stickers and found that they might have got their supplies from some other discount book stores for a fraction of their "sale" price. Boy, was I mad! Wouldn't you be if if you bought a small book on Ipods for RM 10 only to remove the sticker at home and saw RM 3 ( not USD or A$, but RM!).
Aaargh! The same goes for some other books I had purchased. RM 15 for something thathad a prce tag of RM 8 concealed.
Don't know what the others are complaining about - I found the Times warehouse books clearance exciting. :) Was there last weekend, and saw a lot of good books going for RM8, RM10 and upwards. Neil Gaiman, David Sedaris, etc.. Good looking editions of classics, graphic novels going for 50%, current bestsellers for 30%, etc.. etc.. Am heading down there again later today!
I bought some 50 odd books, all were worth it. But it needs some searching, and looking around. Been there twice now, and am determined to stay away from temptation:)
Go get your supply of cheapie books. (Click on poster to enlarge.)

I was there the first weekend.
The size is about like the ones in PJ. Bought 3 books, I didn't really find anything I liked, really.
Borders The Curve is having a sale in the Centre Court. I guess it's for the school holidays.
