24 Hours At Books Actually - the first 5 hours

April 22, 2014 in Writing, Singapore

BooksActually is not just a bookstore … it's at the heart & soul of the literary community in Singapore and has through its publishing arm, Math Paper Press, given a voice and encouragement to local writers.

From 21st to 30th April, they are holding a 10-Day 25%-Storewide Sale to raise money so they can buy a new shop space for the bookstore & reduce their rising rental costs (~S$12k a month).

We should not take BooksActually for granted.

So please buy books at BooksActually at Yong Siak Street in Tiong Bahru.
