去哪兒買書給小朋友？

mont_sherry

大家多數會去哪兒買書給小朋友？英文書選擇較多, 但可有較平的推介？另外, 哪兒買中文書較多選擇？

來來去去都是大眾、商務、三聯等...有否其他推介？

You may check overseas online bookstores too.

Say, I bought Mr. Men - box set of 50 books from UK's bookdepository last Christmas and it costed about GBP46 that included international delivery to my door. In HongKong, you'll find the same box set with listed price about HKD1,500 in Popular, Commercial Press ... etc.

In UK's online bookstores, it's easy to find much discount on ORT books too but not every bookstore handles international delivery.

At the same time, some books are cheaper in US, say, Amazon. Please check and compare.

For Chinese books, I'll get it from Taiwan and China too. Say, in one of my previous trips to Beijing, I ordered quite some books online from Dangdang.com at night and the books are delivered to me the next morning with much discount than going to the bookstores.

Hi huba, can you pm me the details please? Thank you!

huba

It seems many parents have interest with the online bookstores. I have sent PM replies to all those who have enquired from me. The last two I replied to are topkidsmom and mont_sherry below.

I would encourage those parents who have received my PM replies before help to reply to future requesters.

Would future requesters please PM the parents who requested the same information below?

Please don't leave your request here as it does not add value to this post anymore.

HI HUBA, 若果你在北京買書, 如當當網, 是否是簡體字呢?  可否介紹一些是繁體字而又較香港書局便宜的網站呢?  謝謝.

huba

Yes that the books I purchased through dangdang.com are printed with simplified Chinese characters.

For complex Chinese characters books, I have not found any cheap online bookstore. Hope other parents with related experience can share with you.

Besides, a few more suggestions to share here.

1. Taiwan is a place worth visiting for family with children. Say, staying in farms ... etc. Schedule some shopping time for books in your next trip there.

2. If Taiwan is not your cup of tea, please visit Bookfair and make bulk purchase.

3. In Bookfair, you may check with individual publishers/book sellers on whether they may have warehouse sales. Say, King Horn Press will have a warehouse sale in 23-29/9/2011.

For the warehouse sale I mentioned below, please visit www.kinghornpress.com and check their Chinese books available through the website.

If interested, please give them a call (contact details can be found on the website) to enquire the details of their warehouse sale in Sep.

While searching for the suggested book shop, I found this blog good for sharing too.

Besides, I heard 誠品書店 will soon open a branch in Hong Kong. By then, the supply of Taiwan Chinese books in Hong Kong will be much expanded than now.
