APD Book Fair - Wed-Fri, Oct 12-14

There will be a Book Fair under the tent in the Plaza from 8 AM to 4 PM Wed-Fri this week (Oct 12-14).

The vendors -- APD Singapore -- are major suppliers of books for us, both textbooks and library books.  (And the owners are Dover parents.)  Click here for a list of all the publishers they represent -- for which we get 25% discount off the retail price.

Please feel free to bring your classes down to browse -- and to check it out yourselves.

You are also more than welcome to pick out books for the school to buy for the library -- or for your department.  All you have to do is tell the bookstall staff that you want to put this book aside for the school to purchase.  They may make you add your name to a clipboard or something.  Later I will be given a list of the books put aside and will send it out to everyone to confirm.

You can also just snap photos (if you have a smartphone on you) of the covers of books you're interested in.   Don't worry about whether we might have it or not.  I can check whether it's already cataloged, waiting to be cataloged, or on an order list.

I have put a set of the APD catalogs in the staff room -- so you can browse them.

NB:  We earn book credits equal to 10% of the total sales during this week.

We have book sales by different vendors periodically throughout the year, especially before holiday breaks.  The next one will be sometime in late November/December and will be hosted by Bookaburra Books.
