Hi everyone, I am planning to do a small group buy for the above from Amazon which is currently selling at 32.16usd. I am targetting to order 4 books to qualify for free shipping.
If you are interested and don't mind to collect from my place at CCK when it arrives, please add your name to the list below:
1) byang
2) mystiq
3) Phb
4) Kochu
Kindly note that I need a deposit of $20 from each of us before I place the order. Not that I am worried you could not pay but just to avoid no show. This is my first time doing group buy so hope that it will be a successful one!

Just one more name to go before I place order so for those who are still sitting on the fence, maybe it is time to act now!

4.8 out of 5.0 stars out of 121 reviews. When was the last time you saw such a rating on Amazon? No more reason to sit on the fence.

Hi,
If it's not too late, can I jump "off the fence" and onto the bandwagon?

Sorry guys, I have already placed order for 4 books this morning. Since there are two of you, why not you guys start another group buy and see if you could get another two to join in?
