Book Lovers Beware!

To say the book fair by Popular at Amcorp Mall is disappointing is an understatement. There was limited number of books and the concourse area is too small. Popular has used the various shopping malls' concourse area and so far the best was at Summit SJ.

I was at Amcorp around 4pm yesterday and did not know what to buy. Gasp! Maybe it is the end of my book buying days. I dare not think of it.

Then I strolled to Pay Less at 1st floor and it has never been one of my favorite hang out place. I explore the other floors and came across Reissued which specialized in imported magazine at lower rates. Next to it 'was' Book Xpress as there is a sign saying that they have moved to Lot 3-57 with more floor space.

The store is brightly lighted and the display and shelves remind me of the newly renovated bookstore ala Times. There weren't that many customers at the hour but I am sure business will pick up soon. The books are all new (unlike Pay Less where books with dog ears) and at nearly 1/3 of the original price.

@Kyle, I did not buy any book from Popular.
@Magus, there is a hardcover print of Covey's "The Speed of Trust" only at RM29.90!

I bought three books, "Brokeback Mountain", "John McEnroe" and "Teacher Man". May be I would do a book review later. All for RM51.70. I love the cover of Annie Proulx's book which is now a major motion picture. I must say that Ang Lee has done justice to the story based on Brokeback Mountain.

The cashier told me that Book Xcess has been in operation for the last 6 months. This is the only branch in KL and they intend to open up more stores in Malaysia. Good news to book lovers.
