The Legacy of the Malay Letter

-

Warisan Warkah Melayu

The Penang Bookshelf has just taken delivery of a few copies of The Legacy of the Malay Letter/Warisan Warkah Melayu (PB) by Anabel Gallop. So now let's see if we can get rid of a few of them.

I've mentioned what a beautiful book this is in a previous newsletter. I still think it's one of the more sumptuous books that's in The Penang Bookshelf's inventory. It's colourfully produced, it's about art, history and culture and it's in both Malay and English. What more could you want?

Anyway enough of the sales talk. The Penang Bookshelf is currently selling the book at RM120 (AU$42/CA$40/EUR29/GBP24/SG$48/US$29). However we're now running a limited offer for the first three copies that we can sell for RM100 (AU$35/CA$34/EUR24/GBP20/SG$40/US$23).  

The books are in almost new condition with a bit of scuffing of the dust jacket, but that's about all. The ringgit price includes postage within Malaysia and must be paid for in cash or by bank transfer. The overseas price does not include postage, so do ask. Overseas customers can pay by  card or PayPal.

Oh there is a small catch - to qualify for this offer you have to buy another full priced book from The Penang Bookshelf at the same time. So if you want to take advantage of the offer when you're buying another book, just mention it and we'll give you an invoice with your discount for this book.
