80 bucks
I’ve long suspected that books cost more at Fully Booked than in Powerbooks, and today I got empirical evidence.
The Loser by Thomas Bernhard:Â P549 at Fully Booked
Same edition of Bernhard book:Â Â P469 at Powerbooks
The Book of Other People, edited by Zadie Smith: P599 at Fully Booked
Same edition of The Book of Other People: P519 at Powerbooks
Price difference: 80 pesos. (With bookstore discount cards, 72 pesos.)
The big El Bulli book that costs P15,000 at Fully Booked costs P11,000 at A Different Bookstore.
I like hanging out at Fully Booked, but best to do comparison-shopping.

Hi Jessica! Speaking of books, I haven’t received your email regarding my prize(s) (for The English Patient dialogue contest). Yes, I’m a beggar, and it’s the new year! hehe Please note its balqis without a “U.” God, so this is grovelling.

If the book I want is available in National or Powerbooks, I get it from either. Otherwise I go to FB.
