Just My Two Cents

I’ve long suspected that books cost more at Fully Booked than in Powerbooks, and just the other day I got empirical evidence.

The Loser by Thomas Bernhard:  Php549 at Fully Booked
Same edition of Bernhard book:   Php469 at Powerbooks

The Book of Other People, edited by Zadie Smith: Php599 at Fully Booked
Same edition of The Book of Other People: Php519 at Powerbooks

Price difference: 80 pesos. (With bookstore discount cards, 72 pesos.)

The big El Bulli book that costs Php15,000 at Fully Booked costs Php11,000 at A Different Bookstore.

I like hanging out at some bookstores, but best to do comparison-shopping.
