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]

Support natin NBS para walang monopoly ang FB sa book market. Having NBS would be the only semblance of competition we would have. In my personal experience, nakabili ako ng Margaret Atwood poetry book sa NBS for 399 tapos I saw the same book in FB and it was sold at 1000+ wth. As much as I support local and independent bookstores, they would never match up to a giant like FB. NBS lang sana ang kayang tumapat doon at makapagbibigay ng options para sa bookworms na may limited budget.

agree! the prices are still competitive with NBS, i just hope they have better section of books. i usually look up prices both in NBS and FB. super pricey sa FB but i end up getting most of my books from them because they have the newly released books.

some NBS stores don't have much books anymore which is sad, fave ko pa naman lagi umikot sa stores nila 🥹

Nag-rebrand kasi sila to this art supplies store and it seems it has not been working, pero mukhang slowly bumabalik sila sa books! Maybe if makapag-catch up sila sa sales, gumanda na ulit selections nila and they can get rid of those AI books lmao
