So after cooking up a simple lunch on Sunday, I finally managed to find some time for my 2nd visit to Book Xcess/ maiden visit to their new and much bigger store. My first visit there was end of November last year, right before my long Christmas break, with 5 new books at a great bargain (RM8 per book!) as it was their warehouse sales then.
Have been reading lots of comments in Facebook about the many number of books available at great prices (and this is non-sales season ya). So was just itching to have a look myself and it is good to note that I was not dissapointed. Sure, their collections may not be as complete as say MPH or Kinokuniya but prices are much lower, even when comparing with MPH's warehouse sales; and there were many great finds.
And you don't have to sweat it out in a warehouse to get cheap books. Which is important to me as I like to take my time to browse through books by some less popular authors, so long the book cover and plot is interesting enough - they make my first cut of selection. Second cut will see me reading through the first chapter of the book, just to ensure I like the writing style and not end up giving up reading half way through! Fingers crossed, so far so good :)
So after a 15 minutes drive, 3 elevators and 2.5 hours later (yes, I need that long to ensure I all the good books :p), this is my new stash. All for only RM113.30! :) Can't wait for my next visit, jom JulieCat & MamaFiza. We can do coffee and cheesecake at Starbucks after book shopping.
