The Philippine Online Chronicles

For our final Geek Bargains entry for the week, let's take a look at the National Bookstore branch at Powerplant. A few things make the bins at this branch different from the other banches--first off, not all the books at the table have the same discount (and I'm not talking about misplaced books); second, most of the titles are single copies, not stacks of the same book. That means that even if there are only a few bins/tables, there's a lot of variety, and a lot of speculative fiction in particular to choose from.
