5 Ways to Buy Books in Singapore

5 WAYS TO BUY BOOKS IN SINGAPORE

There is no doubt you have all heard bibliophiles say, “You can never have too many books.” But bookworms encounter the obstacle of rising book prices. Some choose to avoid this issue by purchasing books online instead, where they can compare book prices and shipping fees. Do note that some online book shops require a minimum spend for cheaper shipping costs.

Additionally, all avid readers can agree that going to a bookstore is heaven to them. Taking your own sweet time to browse through titles is an experience that no online bookstore can replace. However, with the fast-paced, busy lives that Singaporeans face, not everyone can fork out the time to spend hours in the bookstore looking for their latest book. Online bookstores mitigate this concern by providing a convenient, fuss-free method of purchasing books and sending them straight to your address.

Therefore, to help all the book lovers in Singapore, we have compiled 5 of our favorite (online and physical) bookstores below. 

Book Depository is recognized by many to be one of the most popular online bookshops. With a catalog of 20 million books, Book Depository spoils its patrons with a plethora of options. They also provide free shipping with no minimum spend, allowing you to purchase more frequently and in smaller quantities.

Amazon is an excellent alternative when ordering a considerable number of titles. Purchasing a low quantity of titles will incur high shipping fees. However, customers need not worry because Amazon boasts a wide selection of over 30 million books, assuring customers they will be able to find all their desired titles.

    Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!)
    Great job. I really loved what you had to say, and
