The Bookstore in Singapore - Clementi Book Store

Information for foreign students: Clementi Book Store (CBS) is the best and cheapest place in Singapore to order your widest selection of technical books, just ask any NUS/NTU /JC/polytechnic student. I know, as I have been buying technical books from CBS since 1984, when I purchased my first copy of Beagle Bros Programming Guide for Apple ][. Even during my studies/work in the States, I have been a regular patron of CBS whenever I come back to Singapore for Holidays. CBS is run by the same owners of NIE, NUS bookstores, Nanyang Super Market, etc.

  Sun/Holiday Closed

They have whole shelves of out-of-date technical/non-technical books displayed out in front. This is a good opportunity for you to pick up a cheap (around S$10) copy of the once-hot technology that you have always wanted to learn but for which you were not willing to fork out the initial premium (S$50-S$100).

Disclaimer: I do not own shares or interest in CBS, although I know the proprietors personally.
