There's a discount book shop in the town where I work that has 2 books on food from the Philippines and Indonesia. I bought both recently and in the shop the other day they had 2 copies of each (but might possibly have more in stock?).

This one is a large paper-back (well card-back really!) and is £5.99:

and this hard-back one is £6.99:

Is anyone wants me to get them for them, then let me know. I'm not sure how much the post would be, but I could find out first if you want. Not sure what the best way to pay me would be though?!

Yeah, I have Paypal. The book weighs 1275g or 2.13lb. Just got a quote on the Royal mail website and it says £4.41 parcelpost and £5.15 1st class. Seems a bit expensive to me when it's nearly the same price as the book, but then I guess the book is a good price in the first place.

Am not sure 100%, but it's something pretty much like 'The Discount book store'. Always seem to have permanent sales/clearance sales where you're not quite sure if they are closing or not!

Just been to the shop and it's called 'Book extra' and there are signs in the window saying Clearance sale. There is 1 copy of the paper-back book and 2 copies of the hard-back book on the shelves.

The ISBN of the paper/card-back one is: ISBN-13: 978-1-84681 -358-0 and also underneath it is another no.: ISBN- 10: 1-84681 -358-1 and is printed in China.

The hardback one has a price of £19.99 on it, so not bad for the £6.99 I paid! The ISBN is: ISBN-13: 978-1-903141-50-2 and the otehr no. under it is: ISBN-10: 1-903141-50-8 and is printed in Singapore.

My wife's favourite cook books are "Flavours of the Philippines: A Culinary Guide to the Best of the Islands" & "Memories of Philippine Kitchens". Both of these are available from Amazon.

She also discovered a book about the lives of Filipinos in the UK. It's called "Hinabing Gunita (Woven Memories): Filipinos in the United Kingdom" - an interesting and sometimes sad book to read.
