BookFest Malaysia 2009

The two basic processes of education are knowing and valuing – ROBERT J. HAVIGHURT

Reading is inspiring. As usual, the annual Malaysia Book Festival which is organizing by Popular Book Company (M) Sdn Bhd is hosted in Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre for 10 days. Book lovers definitely don’t want to miss out this event.

Why I visit the book festival every year? Simple reason is:-

- To grab a bargain books that suite my interest.
- To maintained my reading hobby as well as gaining my knowledge.
- To submit for my annual income tax deductions.
- To made collection of books.

This year I am focusing in English books section, last year was actually focusing in Chinese books section. As you can seen from the above picture, I was buying three (3) English books mainly content with Visual History of the World, The Knowledge Book and The Science Book. These book are similar to Encyclopaedia.

I felt happy and lucky able to bought these book. Why am I saying that? These book are actually best selling amount others because of the contents and pricing. You can’t imagine that, each book selling at RM29.90 Ringgit Malaysia with the original selling price at US$35 dollars. Yes, it is US$35 dollar which you can refer to National Geographic Online Store website. Some more, each book comes with extra 20% discount, final price at RM23.92.

The books come with illustrations and summaries explanation for easier understanding and better picture. Total 431-656 pages for each book with the average weight of 2.33kg per book. It is suitable for all age of people to read.

Too sad that this book sold out within 6 hours from the time I visit on 22nd August 2009. A lot people are actually looking available of this book.

Will I selling off this book one day? I’m not thinking of this yet until I finish read the books or there is another replacement.

Update…

Here is another book I bought on 25th August 2009. A collector edition of, “Comprehensive Guidebook for Foods and Health”.

A Chinese author editor from mainland China, introducing a variety of cereal, vegetables, meats, sea foods, herbs, milks and others. Bring the reading to have better understanding in following terms:-

a. Introduction.
b. Efficiencies.
c. Ingredients.
d. Nutrition.

More than 500 hundred items are listed in the books, you name it and you can find it. With the cost of RM60 is totally worth for its value. Perfectly good for doctors, housewife, illness patient, old generation and the people who want a better health.
