It’s that time of the year again! By ‘that time’ I mean spending a lot of moolah for books. Not as if I don’t spend too much on books on any day, but this is the time of the year where prices of books go down with discounts. Manila International Book Fair is one of the highlighted book-related events this month. It is now on its 34th year. If you don’t know anything about this, this is a paradise for book lovers and enthusiasts. It started on the 11th day of September this year.
I went to the book fair on Friday (September 13, 2013) alone. My friends and I were planning to go there on Sunday but I don’t have a class that day and I can’t wait to buy new books. Plus, I wanted to meet an illustrator, Tokwa Peñaflorida, as I saw his fb status stating that he’ll be there in the morning.
When I got there, however, it was after lunch already.

I still went straight to the section of Vibal Publishing, Inc.. I witnessed no one though. I just resorted to my other agendas and went to the section of Anvil Publishing, a publisher of Philippine Literature books.
I was informed that the discounts were ranging from 50%-80%. True enough, the discounts were massive. I went nuts on deciding what to buy because there were so many books (and I’m still a newbie in growing Filipiniana collection).
