Everyone loves a good deal. I am no different. But when I happened to pass by National Bookstore (NBS) in Greenbelt 1 last Monday and saw all of the Book Blowout for as low as P100, P200, P300 signs, my heart simply sank.

They wereContinue reading “From Book Blowout to Everything On Sale!: Could this be the end of National Bookstore (October 24, 2019)”
