Cheapo English book…

Today finally arrived the English storybook that mummy had been ordering past two days ago. Overall mummy was satisfied with them. There was only one book which mummy didn’t expect it to be so small. What to do the price is so cheap.

Getting the English books in China (either you buy it from bookstore or through the school) which is new and in good condition are extremely expensive even though they are printed in China. English books will be exported and re-imported again. This imposed the tax so the price will be superbly higher. Last time mummy would only buy the English books in Malaysia but recently found that ordering from online shop is cheaper. Of course cheap things came with the strings attached.

For those people who likes perfection, they will not choose the same channel like mummy. These cheap books were rejected by printing companies due to the quality issues. The quality issues are like the packaging of the book might be out of shape, the gluing not perfect or the cover has been folded. Usually this kind of problems. But mummy does not really care. As long as the content of the book is readable and perfect then mummy will accept it. No point buying in good condition as after Ethan flips through multiple time - the same degrading effect will happened. Saving money to buy more books.
