go to riceball!

books there seem reasonably priced...

eg : scott kelby's 7 point for Photoshop Cs3..

cost $71 at riceball
cost $101 at borders!

cheaper from amazon if getting a few at one time
but need to wait 2-3 weeks

You may also want to take a look at the book "Take Your Photography to the Next Level" by George Barr. It does not touch on equipment and photoshop.

They're saying riceball can be found at Funan. I haven't been there myself, so can't confirm.

there's an outlet in Funan ground level, just beside Subway near Delifrance.

Scott Kelby's The digital photography book should work for you. When you have more experience you can go on to book 2

I love his series, got both.

i love these 2 books. not too wordy with technical details, with lots of practical tips.
can find the books in riceball or computer book centre in funan.

The one at The Adelphi is already closed. It is now located besides Subway at Funan IT Mall level 1.

Some of the photography books can be found upstairs in the Computer bookshop in Funan as well. Can compare prices

yes, and the price at CBC seemed lower. but riceball has got bigger range of selection, and more specialised.

You can join Riceball's membership which costs about $10 a year for 10% discount and at times, they will offer 20% on all titles for members.

I find that Kinokuniya's prices on some titles are comparable to those of Riceball and the Computer Bookshop at Funan. However, their membership is more expensive.

i second your statement.. but anyway..

Computer Book Center, Funan 3rd floor

Kinokuniya
do some checking so that u get the best price..

Eg the book i bought from Riceball:
Scott Kelby's 7 point system for Cs3.
Borders : $101
Riceball : $71
Kino : $67
Computer book center : $61

I could have saved 20 bucks if i bought the photoshopcs3 and 7 point system book from Computer Book center.. oh well.. at least i didnt spend $101 on just a single book.. magazines wise, all shops have the same price i believe..

Between me and my wife, we have Borders, Kino and Riceball(no card) member cards..
