How often do you come across a bookstore which keep all their books nicely wrapped?
You do not even have the chance of browsing through the book to see whether it's worth buying or not.
Popular bookstore in Penang area always have their books wrapped up nicely. As for Borders, they do not wrap their books and everyone is free to browse through it (except for the manga which is considered as collectable items).
So, have your say, do u think all the books should be wrapped up nicely so the public will not damage the books by browsing through it??
Or they should let everyone read it before buying ??

That's a smart move....unlike popular, need to call the assistants to unwrap it
sometimes, when buying a book, i need to read through the content to see whether it's up to my liking or not
but when I see all the books being wrapped up like those in popular, i don't feel like going in anymore since i would not like to trouble the assistants that i want this, that and everything that caught my attention to be unwrapped

for borders, it's very kind of them to provide a copy for browsing through - if i see anything interesting on the cover/title, all i have to do is flip through it...by doing so, I will not feel bad for flipping through all the books

saliva slicked fingeR?? ewwww.....

ermm...what kind of books was he looking at?
some not suitable for kids manga??

Well..what do expect in a bookstore when there are traffic rules and I see many not obeying it even though the consequence of breaking it are much more serious than breaking the rules in bookstore...this is Malaysia for god sake...

if all the book were snapped up, i will go to the counter to ask whether is there any extra copies...usually they'll let me know whether it's available or not and i've tried once in borders and they told me which branch still have it
so i just proceed to the other branch and get a good copy
