MPH currently is having a book fair in Alamanda Putrajaya, and it has a beautiful name - Garden of Knowledge Book Fair.

Date : 18 Dec 2009 - 3 Jan 2010

Time : 10 am - 10 pm

Place : Alamanda, Putrajaya

If you are expecting all the books to go very very cheap, sorry but you are to be disappointed. This book fair has three (3) "promotions" only namely;

a) Books at 20% discount

b) RM 5 voucher with every purchase of RM 80 for MRC and MIM members (Some types of membership with MPH) or RM 100 for non members

c) Free note pad for every purchase of RM 60

To be fair, most range of books are there, fictions and non fictions. And you can get 20% discount for all the books from normal price.

But is it worth the trouble?

No, seriously.

The details are;

Location : MIECC, Mines Resort City

Date : 20 - 26 Nov. 2009

Time : 11am - 10pm

Entrance Fee : RM 2.oo per person, student enter for free

Now i must say that unlike KL Convention Center, not many people knows about MIECC ( i think it meant Mines International E-sumthing Convention Center, or i might be wrong).

But if you are interested to go, let me enlighten you of how.

First, get into Mines Shopping Fair. Go to 3th floor, the entrance is beside F.O.S. If you still can't find out where, just ask the information counter, which they had one in the middle of 3th floor of Mines Shopping Fair.

My first impression is that the Popular-organised Chinese book fair is decidedly larger in term of participants and amount of books. The discount in the Popular's fair is also higher than this one.

But this particular book fair triumph in the sense that it has more than books. Here, there is a section dedicated to tea art (which more than ten participating booth) and a huge section for eating. Well, you know, after getting tired walking around, you can just sit down have some tea.

Secondly, students get to go in for free, unlike the Popular-organized ones where everyone pays RM 2.00.

Should you come here?

Well, you should if your interest is in Chinese books. Though lesser in amount, there are still treasures in the fair!

But if you are like me, read little Chinese, don't bother.
