Singapore International School Librarians

Greetings to you from The Booklegger in Melbourne, Australia. On my recent visit to Singapore to work with Linda Twitchett & Katie Day, I had the great pleasure of meeting with a number of members of your association.

Several of you expressed an interest in purchasing from our mailers (which we have been sending to all Australian High Schools for 20 years). Linda very generously offered that if any Singapore schools wished to order from us, we could consolidate all the shipping and send everything via AIS. This could be done quite easily, as individual boxes can be marked school by school.

The current mailer is to be posted to Australian schools next week and includes a large selection of original reviews of books across every curriculum area. They are a combination or recent releases and bargains that we have sourced from publishers & distributors in Europe, the UK & US.

All Singapore schools will be exempt from the 10% GST applied in Australia – this means that on large consolidated orders, the freight will be close to covered by this amount, i.e., your total cost will be similar to the prices marked.

The titles in this mailer represent only a small fraction of the 50,000 high school curriculum-related, non-fiction & reference titles in The Booklegger’s showroom & warehouse. We are also very happy to work with any of you in suggesting titles appropriate for any curriculum requirement or assignment. If you wish to order from us, could you please send your details to us at sales@booklegger.com.au so we can set up an account for you.

I hope to meet more of you in person on my next visit to Singapore, later this year.

Warm regards,

Rick Susman.

Managing Director
