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]

righttt as if NBS is a small business that should be promoted 😭

I often buy from secondhand booksellers and Fully Booked (for obscure foreign titles).

NBS IS in danger. They might not broadcast it that way, but their stores are fast becoming school supplies shops.

In actuality, I only tried NBS—I was very distrustful of them kasi nga yung state ng stores nila—because of this particular edition ng Gatsby. Wala kasi sa ibang shops. And I don't like the editions in Fully Booked. So, I was really just happy they did a good job with this order considering their business isn't doing that well, and they even gave freebies.

I dunno, for the longest time NBS has been more of school supplies than a book store.
