Booksale Mania



I am fond of buying cheap books in Booksale (or Bukay-ukay as they called it)at KCC Gensan. Simply because it is affordable and has a lot of books to offer; ranging from Astronomy-Zoology. Here are some books that i have bought from the store (note: this is not a paid advertisement).

  2. Suddenly, you begin to have the notion: "National Book Store is the only bookstore in the Philippines" blurring to a white blank page. Items were really cheap and I love that fact. I have started my Dean Koontz collection because of BOOKSALE. Nice collection.
