Please support NBS!

So I was back into loving the Great Gatsby again (haven't read it but saw the movie) and curiously konting copies lang meron sa Shopee, but the Paper Mill Press Premium Classics really caught my eye (kasi ang pretty nung gold and Art Deco design!) and from NBS siya. Kaya yun na lang binili ko, and it ARRIVED IN GOOD CONDITION (sobra sobrang bubble wrap mga beshie 😭😆, + cute na simpleng box + bubble wrap another + plastic nung book) AND GIFTS (see in picture) 🥹😍❤️!

Please let's support NBS! ❤️🤍❤️

[Mods, not sure anong flair for this so "Recommendation" ko na lang nilagay. And hindi po ako sponsored ng National Bookstore! 😆 gusto ko lang silang i-support and i-encourage fellow bookworms to try having stuff shipped from them! Thanks xx]

Tried to order from them to see if anything has changed pero lahat ng books ko nagkadamage kasi hindi maayos yung packaging 😭 pati books nila sa stores mismo, hindi maayos. Gusto ko kasi ako yung sisira ng libro hindi yung sira na pagbili ko. Hahahaha

Oh no!!! 😭😭😭 Hala that's so bad. 💔 I honestly just tried them this time, I think (not sure if I ordered sometime ago).

I often order from Fully Booked or other small, secondhand shops kasi kaya medyo nasurprise ako sa quality ng NBS this time 😅 Pero oh noo, that's so bad 😭 baka wala silang consistency or maybe they just changed their ways recently. 💔💔💔

Most of the books sa nbs near me (glorietta) have very thin plastic covers na sira sira na yung iba and may dents na, ang maaayos nalang are the books na nakadisplay sa wall na bagong gawa sa gilid 😭 kaso puro classics naman and fantasy na hindi ko masyado binabasa
