Bound Bookshop is having a sale, with books for as low as 5 pesos each.

Consistent with our effort to make book shopping easier for customers, we have made a few changes at Bound Bookshop. We’ve added more books on the shelves. We’ve also moved the books around.

For instance, books on business and finance, which are proving to be hot sellers (a sign of our entrepreneurial times, perhaps?), are now in the main section, the one that immediately greets you as you enter the store. We’ve added dozens of new titles in this section, ranging from books on why executives fail to how to start your own business.

We’ve also moved to the front our paperback bestsellers, those by James Patterson, John Grisham, Stephen King, et al.

Do drop by one of these days to see the changes we’re trying to make at Bound Bookshop.

Thanks to SME Insight magazine for featuring Bound Bookshop in its September 2007 issue. In his four-page story, Timothy Tuason writes about the genesis of the bookstore and what lessons in entrepreneurship its owners impart. Tuason concludes: “So if you happen to find yourself in Quezon City one day with time to kill, you might want to head over to Bound Bookshop on Scout Castor. It’s a small, cozy nook that may seem out of place amidst the busy restaurants that dot Tomas Morato, but you just might find yourself being thankful that it’s there, simply because it serves as an oasis for the book-lover in you.”

(Sorry, folks, but the story is not available online. You’ll just have to buy a copy of SME Insight, which is available, of course, at Bound.)

This October, Bound Bookshop showcases books on business, entrepreneurship, personal finance, small business, home business, marketing, management, how to manage debt, productivity, mortgages, stocks, bongs, currencies, business ethics, business strategies, biographies, corporate scandals, etc.

Bound is located at 105-A Scout Castor Street, Laging Handa, Quezon City, at the back of Clubber’s across 7-11 along Tomas Morato. Call us at 4117768 or email us at boundbookshop @ gmail.com for details. Bound is open daily, including Sundays and holidays, from 10 am to 10 pm.

Bound Bookshop, put up by journalists on Scout Castor Street near the busy Tomas Morato Avenue in Quezon City, has been offering cloth bags at P125 apiece to customers who refuse plastic bags.

When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left, I buy food and clothes.
– Dutch humanist and writer Desiderius Erasmus (1466-1536)

Is the pen really mightier than the sword… what about against shotguns? Can promoting book reading and untrammeled press freedom help in the quest to liberate the Philippines from the age-old semi-feudal warlord politics dominating many rural provinces and which has caused so many unsolved murders of journalists in recent years?

A group of five journalists crusading to defend beleaguered or slain rural journalists and who love books recently banded together to open a nice little bookshop called Bound at 105 Scout Castor Street (just a few blocks off Tomas Morato Avenue behind Grappa’s Restaurant), Quezon City.
