Wine Buyer's Guide

Pocket Wine Buyer's Guide 1999, London: Dorling Kindersley Limited, 1998, pp368. Leather jacket.

This is a nice pocket guidebook that I'd bought from Romie's bookshop sometime last month.

Diamonds in Australia

Chapman, Leo, Diamonds in Australia: The Fields and The Prospectors, Sydney: Bay Books Pty Ltd, 1980, pp190 inc b/w & color illustrations.

When I'd noticed this large paperback inside Romie's bookshop downtown sometime last week, I didn't hesitate to buy it rightaway.

It's interesting and fun to read something about diamonds, even though I don't own any piece of investment diamond thus far.

Holy War for Constantinople

Crowley, Roger, 1453: The Holy War for Constantinople and The Clash of Islam and The West, First Edition, New York: Hyperion, 2005, pp304 (text), pp8 (b/w illustrations). Dustjacket.

This is a nice-used (as good as new) hardback that I'd bought from Romie last month. This is serious academic stuff and I have yet to complete my reading of this book.

European History

The Robots' Rebellion

Icke, David, The Robots' Rebellion: The Story of the Spiritual Renaissance, Bath, UK: Gateway Books, 1994, pp350.

This is a nice-used (as good as new) paperback that I'd bought from Romie last month. Although I'd read a few articles and watched several videos about David Icke (born 1952) hosted by several websites, this is the first book that I'd ever bought which is written by this author.

David Icke is an active campaigner against the New World Order of mind control of the population.

Greening Business

Davis, John, Greening Business: Managing for Sustainable Development, Cambridge, Massachusetts: Basil Blackwell, Inc., 1991, pp215. Dust-jacket. Nice used.

This hardcover book is a good read for anyone who's concerned about global warming and world environment destruction. The business of environment protection is big business and I guess this book was written years ahead of such development like greening business.

This book was bought some 12 years ago from Romie, who runs a bookshop downtown called Books Galore.

FAQs on Marketing

Kotler, Philip, FAQs on Marketing, Singapore: Marshall Cavendish Business, 2005, pp168. Dust-jacket. New.

Although I've bought a few books about business administration from Romie and other booksellers for the past several years, but I believe this is the only book about marketing that I've ever bought from Romie, who runs a bookshop called Books Galore.

For your information, the publisher Marshall Cavendish Business is formerly known as Times Editions, a member of Times Publishing Limited.
