Offers!!!

As of 30th October 2013

(Updated Constantly)

Listed below are books which have arrived at The Penang Bookshelf recently.  (All prices are post free within Malaysia. If you live outside Malaysia, please ask for a quote for postage.)

Prices are shown in Malaysian Ringgit in blue. Sometimes The Penang Bookshelf can offer some of the titles at a reduced price if they are ordered and paid for while they remain on the list. (If the offer disappears, it's because the book is now advertised generally on The Penang Bookshelf's websites.)  The discounted price is indiciated in red.  Books sold will be so marked. So if you want to order any of them or want further details of any of the books before you make up your mind, do contact me at penangbookshelf@gmail.com.

If you see a book's title in  bold blue, it means the book is already on a Penang Bookshelf website. In such cases please click on the title to be taken to the relevant page of the website for more details. If the bold blue highlighted title is followed by the acronymn (TPW) it means the title is already on a third party website where The Penang Bookshelf advertises. The price will be higher than quoted here to take account of external fees and commissions. However by contacting The Penang Bookshelf direct, you can buy the book at the price quoted on this blog.

**Please note** The Penang Bookshelf operates two websites, one for shipping within Malaysia and the other for shipping elsewhere. If you live in Malaysia please click on the link attached to the book title. If you live elsewhere, please click on the (PB) link which follows each book's title.
