Group Buy: The Backyard Astronomer's Guide (4th Edition)

[byang]

Hi everyone, 9 years ago I did a mini group buy on this forum for the 3rd edition of this book. The 4th and latest edition was released in Sep 2021 but the price has always been on the high side.

However, I have just discovered that currently there is a promotion of 10% discount off the price of S$59.60 if I order 3 copies and above so I would like to know if anyone would be interested to order together with me. The discounted price would be S$53.64 (based on the current listed price of S$59.60 at Amazon SG)

If you don't mind collecting from my place when it arrives (shipping takes about 10 days from the order date), please add your name to the list below:

1) byang
2) traveler (can help to collect on behalf of those staying in Bukit Batok or Bukit Gombak)
3) Alfred (can collect for those staying near Bukit Batok and thereafter can collect from him at Beauty World MRT station)
4)
5)

To keep this group buy manageable, I am limiting the order to 5 books and so long we have 3 slots filled up, this group buy will proceed. I do not know how long will the discount of 10% be offered so please do not take too long to decide!

Kindly note that I need payment to be made via paynow/bank transfer before I place the order. Not that I am worried you could not pay but just to avoid no show.

The other thing to note is that as was discovered in the previous group buy, the books may arrive with slight dent at the corners due to packaging issue with Amazon so please do not join this group buy if you absolutely want the book to be in perfect condition. Thank you for your understanding and below is the link to our previous group buy for your reference (how time flies!)

Just to add, if anyone knows of a better offer, please share it here and I will call off the group buy as we can all get from the new source instead!

Thanks for the support traveler & Alfred, please check your PM for further details on the group buy!

For those who are interested to join in, please add your names to the remaining slots before 2359hr on 3 Oct 2022 as we have already reached the minimum quantity to qualify for the discount and I would like to place the order ASAP before the promotion discount is removed. Thank you

Come come, the book can keep you occupied during this cloudy/rainy season while all your other astro gears stay shut in the dry cabinets! :-p

Order placed! Instead of Amazon, we ordered from Book Depository as I received a 10% discount coupon from BD last night and each book now costs S$51.90 with free delivery as well. Hope this info is useful to those who wish to order on their own :-)

Books have arrived and collected. Thanks again to Alfred and Traveler for supporting this micro group buy. Saving aside, I am also glad to have this opportunity to meet up and chat with you guys for the first time. Happy reading!

Thanks for sourcing for the best price and doing the order, Beng Yew. Great chit-chat too.

Take care.

Alfred
