Yesterday, I decided to drop by Booksale at Robinsons Place Iloilo City proper, as I waited for the meetup with my friend with regards to his purchase of a gaming controller. It was just purely to spend the time and also to check some book titles that might get my interest. The place was small with a few fellow book reader checking on their desired topics.

Unsurprisingly, I eventually found one after digging through some of the books in the softbound section. The book title is Land Development, and after checking the table of contents, the topics were timely and coincided with our DURP subject on P231-Site Planning. More so, it was ideally related to our group project, which was the site plan for socialized housing for the municipality of President Roxas, Capiz.

The cost is around P205 and below is the book cover.

It was a bit pricey, but nonetheless information provided would prove to be useful to my work and to our office. The subject site planning might be done for the semester, but the plans for future projects that the Iloilo City LGU will implement will have this book as a viable reference.

For now, I might have this placed in my workstation at the city hall and casually read on the topics one by one during my free time.

Here I am sharing my recent book hauls when I dropped by earlier at Booksale in Robinsons Place city proper. I decided to drop by the shop right after meeting with a fellow hobbyist for a transaction on the Macross figure that I am selling. I tried my luck again looking for Magic: the Gathering novels but to no avail. I noticed that there were more romance novels in the right shelves than that of the fantasy and sci-fi action. Maybe they have been pulling out those old titles and replaced them with new ones. i got one short story sort-of-a fantasy novel which only costs 15 pesos.

I then skimmed through the technical softbound sections, hoping to get an Urban Planning related book. There were more financing and self-development titles and titles like software guide, marketing, and real estate. I was able to dig one which can be a related topic to my course and here it is below.

‘After Hong Kong: Some key trade issues for developing countries’ is about the Doha Round and its development, and on Hong Kong’s trade relations with least developed countries after its ministerial declaration on duty-free and quota-free access. The book costed 10 pesos.

As for the fantasy novel title I have mentioned earlier, it was The Warlock’s Companion by Christopher Stasheff.

It is a part of The Warlock Series of books and is probably the last part as I have checked. I did not spot any of the similar books on the shelves though I might check the story and Google it online if it happens that I will like it.

That is a wrap. Until the next post.
