I noticed that quite a few bookstores are organizing breakfast, for those early buyers of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Anyone wanna go together? JOM makan breakfast.

MPH: Breakfast and activities @ Mid Valley, 1 Utama, Subang Parade and Kinta City (Ipoh) (7.15am)

Popular: Launch  party @ Ikano Power Centre outlet between 7.15am and 9.45am. You could could pay to have their photographs taken with Harry Potter characters and take part in quiz sessions.

Borders: First 20 customers who buy the book will get a RM30 cash rebate, while the first 50 buyers get to enjoy a complimentary breakfast at Starbucks.

p/s How can Carrefour and Tesco sell the book at such low price?!

    Marketing. Marketing. Harry Potter’s getting boring. The sixth book was written so crappily.

    I thought all the books after the 3rd are … fillers<br />
    The good ones?<br />

    now you know the bookstores make at least RM40 per book.
    Tesco & Carrefour selling at RM69, while major bookstores selling at 109.

    hanneng Thanks. I will buy the book and keep

    mott Actually is number 7 :wink:
    No3 is the best book, in my opinion.
    From there, it goes downhill, all the way

    Exactly! I’m wondering the same thing…how can they sell it so cheap?? And all these major bookstores were taking orders a few months in advance, at a price of RM109!!!

    I remember I bought the Victoria Beckham’s new book for my ex at full price, the next day I went to tesco, it was only 40% of the original price.

    “£$(%!(£$%!&”£($*!

    From then on, I buy almost everything from supermarket.

    Hey, i went to HyperM to buy. No queue… just a few ppl ahead of me , i went about 8.45am. But, if i couldn’t get the book, i would still buy at original price. So i think they shouldn’t have the boycott thingy loh.. Coz at the end of the day, the readers will suffer. :( thats my 2 cents.

    king’s wife It is a lousy business tactics from the hypermarkets. Leave a bad taste in my mouth

    Eric Sigh. The hypermarket should not have gotten their hands on those books

    winnie We all have our own favourites

    chen Oh, you can easily get it off the net :P

    cath-e Wow. You went so early? I respect you.
    The hypermarket only has limited stock. And with the boycott now, I feared quite a few will be left with no book

    Yes. The readers will suffer. But the blame is not on the bookstores.
