Bound Bookshop’s Discount Promo for Journalists

MANILA — Members of the Philippine press are entitled to a 10-percent discount on all books at Bound Bookshop, a bookstore in Quezon City owned and operated by journalists.

“All our colleagues have to do is present their press cards to us and we will give them discounts,” said Carlos Conde, one of the owners of the store who also writes for international publications.

Bound Bookshop is located at 105-A Scout Castor St., Laging Handa, in Quezon City, fronting 7-11 along Morato Avenue. The National Union of Journalists of the Philippines holds office above the bookstore.

Conde said the discount promo for journalists, which runs until October 18, is just one of the promotions Bound Bookshop has planned in the coming weeks. “We have lined up discount promos for bloggers, writers, wellness enthusiasts, educators, children, among others,” he said.

Meanwhile, Conde urged his colleagues to sell their old books by consigning these to Bound Bookshop. They can also donate these books to the NUJP, which has programs helping journalists and the families of those killed in the line of duty.

Aside from books, Bound also sells previously owned but original music CDs (which can also be consigned at the store), video documentaries and gift items.

Bound’s new and previously owned books include titles on politics, current events, history, media and journalism, fiction and literature, gender issues and sexuality, self-help, inspirational, children’s literature, and Filipino books.

It is open Monday to Saturday, from 9 am to 9 pm. For inquiries, call 4117768 and 09082435195. Check out www.boundbookshop.com for more information or email us at boundbookshop@gmail.com for a list of the books available.
