Impulsive Buyer

So, I was just randomly browsing some books at Booksale Robinson when I happened to come across a medical book of some sort.

Principles of Anatomy and Physiology 13th ed(hardcover) by Tortora & Derrickson


Something inside me urged me-self to buy the book.  Was it a calling that I should proceed with Medicine? Or was it just a simple case of impulsive buying?

I was attracted by its smooth hardbound cover, its colorful images in its immaculately glossy paper and a reasonable price to top it off.

Revel in its glossy texture!

Bakit baliktad? lol ..See, it has colorful illustrations ayt?

Maybe I was just a tiny bit frustrated on not proceeding with medicine.  I am not really sure, actually. I generally did not buy any reference books and relied more on hand-outs when I was just a medical technology student but survive anyhow(hambugera), then why buy now when I am no way a student no more?

Anyhoo, anyone interested with this magnificent reference material I got here? (haha..ibaligya ra diay gihapon).  It's still in good condition though, slightly crumpled on the top of some pages, no writings, highlights or whatsoever.

>Selling it for 1 kyaw! (P 1,000.00).  It's already a steal for you save 50% considering the average selling price of the used book!

Amazon is selling it at $221.05 (around P9,800).  For used books, selling price averages $47.67 ( around P2,100).
>I'll throw in this WONDERFUL ATLAS as a bonus! (Haha, parang tv homeshopping lang kung maka "I'll throw in as a bonus".)

The title page.

 
Just a few teaser pages of the atlas.  Cool right?

Calling all Med, MedTech, PT students based here in Cebu! This book is definitely for you!  Grab it while stocks last(as if..hahaha).  Seriously, holler me when you're interested.=D

PAHABOL: I also bought this cute book just in time for Father's Day.  I don't usually buy gifts for my parents.  It was just that day that I got the feel of buying stuff.  Impulsive buying?  I guess so. Anyhoo, I hope papa likes it somehow.

It's the thought that counts right?
