Let me repeat it again, i lived in Indonesia...and more of that, i live in a small town and it doesn't have Bookstore... yeap.. Nada!
Well if we talk about school's book.. we have that. but a magazine, novels, manga and else , we don't have it here.
Most of my collection was bought by online, hail online shop! :))
One of my favorite read is, historical romance. At first i read the one that had been translate and publish in Indonesia, but i have to admit, some of book took ages to translate and publish here, not that it won't.. just longer. And PATIENT ... let say it's not always EASY :))
One of my friend who shared same hobby but different genre of books, told me about this amazing site ... yeap.. ladies and gentlemen... i present to you...Bookdepository.com
The great things about this website and why i love it so much is, it's offer free shipping worldwide. And it have a wide range of books selection, from children to adult, romance to thriller, novel to coloring book, postcard book to watercolor books :)
I use Paypal account whenever i purchase , it also accept Visa and Mastercard and etc.
They always send us an email when we purchased and when they dispatched our book/s.
Most of the time, if you purchased multiple title or type of books,they will dispatched it individually , which is fine because all of the shipping is FREE.
The fastest time i received my book/s after it dispatch was 10 days, and the longest time was 2 month.
PATIENT ^^
But there was time when i purchased and the books felt like never come, i just drop them an email, and as far as experienced , they really helpful.
They also have a bargain shop section where you can get an awesome bargain books.
Around last week when i checked , this site now accept Sterling, Euros, US Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars, NZ Dollars, Singapore Dollars, Hong Kong Dollars, Czech Koruna, Israeli Shekel, Japanese Yen, Norwegian Krona, Polish Zloty, Swedish Krona, Swiss Franc and Thai Baht so they charge in the currency that you selected.(almost gave me heart attack when i saw the price with so many number, turn out it was in Rupiah not US dollar :)) )
