Dear BK parents who have requested for PM from me,

I have just received approval from BK to share my little experience by posting my reply here. This will save much effort from sending PM one by one. Below please find my sharing.

For UK, I have used 'www.bookdepository.com' as their price covers international delivery.

(If any people in UK can help you for delivery, please try www.thebookpeople.co.uk too. They often sell ORT books collection at big discount. Say, they did sell a set of 48 ORT Read at home books for less than GBP30 a few months ago. Haven't checked for a while and am not sure about their latest promotion.)

For China, I have used 'www.dangdang.com' when I was on trip to Beijing before. They do deliver to Hong Kong but with charge.

Depending on your own network, you may find other online bookstore, say, Amazon may even be more suitable for you. (Note that due to exchange rate fluctuation, Amazon in UK and US may cost you differently.)

There are really too many online bookstores in the world and no single bookstore can give you the best price or service for all books. Please check and compare. Just like general online shopping, there is risk involved so better purchase from those reputable shops even though they may not be the cheapest. Listen to the comments from your friends who have used the shops before.

Do visit bookstore and book fair too as sometimes good deals can be found. e.g. I found and bought some bargain books (chapter books such as Bionicles and Star Wars) from Cosmos in Wan Chai with discount over 70% a few months ago. Of course, these are not the latest publications but I know my son does like them.

In additional to purchasing new books, please consider borrowing books from Public Library and enrolling your kid to their reading program as well.

Cheers,

Huba

P.S. Some other parents have shared information about online bookstores too in BK forums. Please check separately.
