The CBD closeouts is another good source. I bought 10 good books for less than US$60 just before Christmas!<BR/><BR/>Yeah, heard about the bookstore in Amcorp Mall, but have not been there yet.<BR/><BR/>Hope the ringgit continues to strengthen against the greenback - that would make purchase from Amazon a little bit easier on the pocketKar Yonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085356536248608342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2079461116492986819.post-19076910546848742262008-01-12T22:14:00.000+08:002008-01-12T22:14:00.000+08:00Good news is the ringgit has been strengthening ag...Good news is the ringgit has been strengthening against the greenback. Less than RM3.3 to USD1 now. Some expect it to hit RM3.1 year end. Still USD80 plus postage charges may set you back by at least RM300. <BR/><BR/>Don't see the prices of books in the local bookstore dropping soon but sometimes you are able to get a good bargain. Jack got a copy of Henry Kissengers' memoirs at RM9.90 recently.<BR/><BR/>Recently I bought a copy of William Wiberforce's biography, hardcover, easily over 800 pages at RM39.90. It's new, just published last year I think.

Will post some pics shortly.<BR/><BR/>Problem is that the Hermeneia series are only available in HB - this means the price will never come down.<BR/><BR/>It is a BIG bomb to me - how to justify paying US$80 for a commentary? As such, I am waiting for a kind soul to buy me the commentary, if there is one out there....No, this is not a hint!

Wait...wowww...USD80, that's a bomb, to me at least. <BR/><BR/>Wait till the paperback/softcover version comes out lah.<BR/><BR/>But it'll be interesting to have a peep... : D<BR/><BR/>Mark is always so mysterious because to me, it's so raw and "unadulterated", so, so, primitive, representing a very early line of christian thought, as though coming out of the apostle's own dictation...hahahaha...did i just reveal my stance on its priority?<BR/><BR/>Welcome back Mister!
