Happening @ Page One

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! Do take note that your purchase of any Lonely Planet Travel Guide have to be a minimum of SGD30.0 to be eligible for a scratch card to get a Lonely Planet Travel Guide goodie/freebie!!

When you purchase any copy of Quantum Of Solace titles at Page One, you're entitled to a Quantum Of Solace poster, with Daniel Craig on the movie poster itself.

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.
