From 17 November 2008 till 31 December 2008, a purchase of SGD100.00 and above will entitle the spender to a Page One limited edition Gift Voucher. The catch is that you can only start using them from 01 January 2009 till 31 January 2009. But fret not, this is actually a thoughtful gesture in a sense that if you didn't bring enough money, you can use this voucher to off-set your purchase and thus, helping you to save a little more for you next purchase at Page One.

Oh, and I've checked with the staffs too. You can combine receipts to get a voucher, provided you have same-day-purchase receipts.

If you are a holder of My One Card (Page One membership card), you are entitled for a free delivery service if you spend a minimum of SGD200.00 and above.

Do note that if your purchase is less than SGD200.00 (for My One Card members), a charge of SGD15.00 is applicable. Delivery is scheduled for only Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and that there are no deliveries on public holidays at all.

Cut out this redemption coupon and redeem a <>Super Sticky Post It pad absolutely free only at the Stationery counter that is located at Page One bookstore. The redemption period is from 17 November 2008 till 31 December 2008 or While Stocks Are Available.

Do not that each customer is only allowed one coupon for redemption.

My One Card - presented by Page One -is perfect for the jetsetter in you, especially if you are someone who absolutely loves to curl up for a cackling good read. This membership card actually entitles the card bearer for discounts at all Page One bookstores located in Asia.

What's more, you'll actually get invitations to special events that are held at the bookstore. And the good part? It's yours for only SGD20.00 and you can email enquiries_vc@pageonegroup.com for more enquiries.

Now only exclusively at Page One, you can have the options of having your presents and Christmas gifts fabric-wrapped a la Sao Tsutsumi Wrap also known as the Padded Carry Wrap.

Back in the olden days of the Edo era when plastic and paper is not available as wrapping and handling tools, Japanese use cloth wrappings known as Furoshiki. Dating approximately from the Muromichi era (1392-1573), Furoshiki can be used to wrap and carry object of variety of height and shape.

Not only that using Furoshiki will prevent waste, it is also a tasteful way to decorate objects and gifts. The Furoshiki cloths which range up to bed sheet size, are adorn with Japanese traditional pattern and art. Nowadays, you can even find some stores that carries those with modern designs.

You can redeem a muffin (complimentary) at Gloria Jeans cafe when you spend a minimum amount of SGD50 at Page One bookstore and show the original receipt at Gloria Jeans. This offer is valid from 17 November till 31 December 2008 and it's a while stocks are available promotion. Hurry!!

Canossaville Children's Home was first estalished as an orphanage in 1941 providing care and attention to male and female orphans. In later years, it became a home for girls from single-parent families and troubled homes. Give the children books to read and stationery to help them through their education so that their ambitions can come true! This is how you can participate:

» Locate the Christmas tree at the front of Page One bookstore located at Vivo City.

» Pick out a handwritten card to learn their name and age.

» Buy a gift from anywhere you want! (There's no minimum cost)

» Hand the gift to any Page One staff at the bookstore to get it wrapped.

» Write your well wishes for the child on the giftcard provided.

All gifts will be given to the children of Canossavile Children's Home before Christmas!

Well, simply said, Page One's book vouchers come in SGD10, SGD20, SGD50 and SGD100 and the last I knew, there isn't any expiry date for their vouchers. Isn't that sweet? You can actually buy, example, a SGD100 book voucher and use it when you need to get something when you realized you don't have enough cash on you. This is a good way to get customers coming back loyally, and as far as I'm concerned, other bookstores vouchers have expiry dates and it is such a killjoy when you have to use it by a certain date or forfeit everything.

Dear all, do take note that members of Page One should be receiving their copy of the Page One Christmas Catalogue in their mail soon. That is, if you update your mailing and email address when you sign up or renew your membership card. Because if you don't have or supply an existing mailing/e-mail address with Page One, there is no way you will receive it in your mail and you would have to go down to Page One to get a copy. When I get mine in the mail, I'll post up all the details I can find in the catalogue for everyone and I believe the Page One Christmas Catalogue should be arriving in under 2 weeks time too.

P/S: I remembered receiving mine in the mail roughly around November last year, so I'm hopeful it'll be mailed out soon!!

From now, when you buy a copy of any Lonely Planet Travel Guide from Page One, you're entitled to a scratch card where you'll get to win either a Lonely Planet Cap, Lonely Planet Neck Cushion or a Lonely Planet Cosmetic Pouch. Sorry I couldn't post up any pictures of the scratch card as they need to take it back for some sort of verification, I suppose? But there are pictures of the Lonely Planet Cosmetic Pouch that I won. This is a Christmas promotion as most people would be traveling overseas for the upcoming holidays and the promotion should most probably be until 31 December if I'm not wrong. Or alternatively, it could be a While Stocks Are Available promotion.

So, hurry down and grab your copy of Lonely Planet Travel Guide while your favorite titles are in stock!! And don't worry that you only get a chance to win a Lonely Planet Travel Guide goodie on for purchases of Madrid City Guide as travel guides from other countries or cities are also eligible too!

New Perspectives of Landscape

Timothy Huang has been enthusiastically exploring the distinction between traditional photography and digital photography of late. The exhibition indicates his efforts in utilizing digital technology to efficiently present works with a charming interplay of light and shadow and fully integrate his own ideas and spirit with the works.

About Timothy Huang

Timothy Huang has always loved art since childhood. After coming in touch with art with his father, an art dealer, in 1976, Huang has experienced Chinese and Western painters, modern Japanese paintings and ancient Chinese ceramics.

Although Huang did not go to art school, he enjoys going to different kinds of exhibitions and thus has developed a strong appreciation skills; his works actually transcend boundaries and are more humane and grand. His artistic foundation is based on a constant reflection on Chinese culture and painting, while his techniques are based on the intellect in Western art.
