Good find. A lot cheap than Amazon (UK or US).

Brilliant! I just paid a fortune at Kinokuniya for a book I needed. This site has it for S$70 cheaper! :o

Relatedly, Borders have been doing a lot of deals recently with up to 30% off and an extra 10% for preferred card holders (which is free)

Book Depository site is fantastic. Used them a number of times when living in Hong Kong. Always arrived in a week or less and about 50% cheaper than Hong Kong book stores. FOC delivery from UK. Seems like books are just as expensive here, so will definitely be using them regularly....

I used them all the time in Australia as books are very expensive there. I agree: they have great service and books always arrived very promptly. Won't be able to use them here if the bank won't give me a card for internet shopping!
