BookSale (booksale.com.ph) offers wide variety of hard-to-find copies for a fraction of the price because they sell pre-read books. I don't mind reading used books. In fact, I feel smarter whenever I buy something decent for less than a hundred pesos. I acquired a trade paperback copy of Memoirs of a Geisha for P50, a first edition of The Cider House Rules for P75 and recently, a hardbound Angela's Ashes for P150, all in immaculate conditions.
But not all books are available there, sometimes, I have to purchase books from some Multiply online sellers. Favorite sites include:

http://bookcity.multiply.com
http://paperbacknation.multiply.com
http://rvaus.multiply.com
If you want something new and something recent, you can search Philippines' leading bookstores like:
http://www.nationalbookstores.com.ph
http://www.powerbooks.com.ph
http://www.adifferentbookstore.com
http://www.fullybookedonline.com
My recent online book purchase was with National Bookstore. I'm planning to buy a book from Fully Booked through Tradeport AND I am yet to pay some reserved books from Life is a Bookpage. Seems like I'm having a broke summer but will read aplenty! Happy book-hunting!
thank you. your post is very helpful.. a lot.. wer on the same boat.
ReplyDeletehi, i was researching about more lists of online bookstore here in the philippines and stumbled here. thanks for the added info since shopping online is becoming one of my hobby.
ReplyDeletePS. I dont know if this will sound spammy, but since you love books also, maybe you can check also blink.com.ph. That is where I got my Hunger Games Boxed set. :)
thanks! very informative!
ReplyDeleteI tried blink.com.ph too. You can buy both used and brand new from this site. very nice
