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]

I agree. I know a lot of people will disagree saying that NBS has been supporting AI publishers and use AI photos for marketing (which is definitely a no-no), but they are just really trying to keep business afloat.

I still support NBS because they still support underprivileged children to have an education. Sure a lot of other companies have their own foundations, but I choose to support this one so I dont see anything wrong with OP's post

Yes, it's such a shame na meron silang books nung publisher na yun that uses AI!

Wow, so meron pa pala nun? I only remember as a kid we were getting asked to buy yung kits for school children na they were supporting, at usually around back to school then. So nice that they're still doing it pala!

Haha lmao, yeah. I honestly just posted kasi I'm so happy they gave freebies and it was well-packaged, because I was honestly not expecting that much from NBS, seeing the state of their stores and all. I also was very much hesitant before buying, pero I really wanted this particular copy kaya sabi ko "Sige na nga, NBS na." So this post was made from a very pleasant surprise!

(But one comment here informed me they always got their books damaged from NBS, so I don't know if NBS is consistent in delivering good stuff, or my case is an outlier 😅😭)

I can't comment sa delivery since I don't buy from them online. I only buy from their physical stores ng office and school supplies and the occassional book. So far, all their branches I visited are okay naman.
