A Caveat -- Go National Book Store

Around noon today, my husband was pleased at having been able to find and buy a book bundle costing P500 plus at Fully Booked. The bundle consisted of Wind Up Bird Chronicle which our son had long been wanting to get hold of, and Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass (Lewis Carroll's stories came in one book).

This afternoon, we went to Shangrila (some 15 years back, we were in Shang so frequently that a guard asked if we had a stall there (we don't)--- and our Shang saga cum love affair lives on) and lo and behold, National Book Store carried the same bundle at P405 or more than P100 pesos cheaper.

Inis.... It's just that the titles in National sometimes seem so mundane one doesn't expect high brow books (or so one thinks) in it. Lesson learned.
