Hi princesspea,

Here's my list:

1. Booksale - i think they're the largest chain of used books. there's a list of branches here http://www.readphilippines.com/Forum/booksale-branches-t115.html

2. Books for less - they also have a good selection. the largest store is in Roces Avenue. here's the list of branches - http://www.readphilippines.com/Forum/books-for-less-branches-t99.html

3. Chapters and Pages - http://www.readphilippines.com/Forum/chapters-and-pages-branches-t116.html

4. Pick-A-Book - Found in Robinsons Pioneer, EDSA. You can find this shop to the left of the entrance facing Pioneer.

5. Emy's thrift shop - a shop in cubao with a good selection

6. ayala mrt station- good selection too

7. U.P. AS Walk - great place!

Enjoy!

Bookay Ukay @ #55 Maginhawa St., UP Village, Diliman, QC

Meron din sa loob ng Shopping Center sa may right side pagpasok mo ng West entrance.
And across the PhilPost (Post Office) sa likod lang ng waiting shed papuntang LB. I scored there the once out-of-print Necronomicon (the "hoax" book of spells by Al Hazred, not the anthology of horror stories by HG Wells) and some rare-to-find books by Eco and Anais Nin.

Sorry for the late reply. anyway have you tried "Book Sale" stores? I'm pretty sure you can buy second hand books for a low price there.

Yeah, "Book Sale" books are great. Me and my friends bought books yesterday which costs 5-25 pesos.
