Error
Apparently, Aeon books does stock SF&F books. Except it's near the cashier hence me not seeing it through the glass window (because they were closed!). There's also a neat used-books section (where I managed to get a copy of the Necronomicon).
Unfortunately, while their selection is different from the mainstream bookstores like National and Goodwill, the owners seem unfamiliar with their audience hence the books they stock are usually on the bestseller list (that's the Nebula awards, for example, when it comes to SF&F), which isn't a bad thing... except that's what A Different Bookstore and Ink & Stone gets, plus more.
Their price is also along ADB's price, except they round off. Whereas it would cost ADB P405, it costs them P400. Except I don't have a discount at Aeon books (although they are on a perpetual sale).
On a side note, it's a bit spacious compared to ADB, which is really a very small shop with very tall shelves. Ink & Stone, the Podium branch, is big compared to the original shop at Glorietta.
Vin is Going to Kill Me
Dropped by Comic Quest to treat myself to a copy of the latest Dragon magazine before I go bankrupt over the weekend.
And then I used my jedi mind trick on Vin causing him to stop asking me when my birthday will be and made him buy books at Ink & Stone. *ahem* A lot of books.
Of course when I get home, I get this email from them:
