Score one for the bookworm.

Best book purchase to date:

Seventeen tiny, hardbound classics
(Not in picture: Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray)

Original price: P6,249.00
Da winner price: P1,250.00 (a wonderful 80% off)


How it happened:

I only wanted these (so I would never have to worry about not having a book in my bag, something to read when I had to pass the time somewhere).

Tried and tested...

...and only slightly longer than my cellphone!

BUT they were part of a boxed set. BUT two very sweet, helpful salespersons at Powerbooks Greenbelt said, "Sale naman ang Powerbooks ngayon. We'll give you the entire set at 80% off."

Oh joy oh bliss.

Not-too-small text.

Mala-gold effect pa ang leaves.

And look at all the pretty colors!

So now I have no excuse not to beef up by Charles Dickens IQ.
