If there is anybody travelling to Phils who might be stopping into a bookstore during their stay, I have a favor to ask. There is a Filippino author F Sionil Jose (I think I am spelling it correctly) and I fell in love with his books. Unfortunately they were in a package that disappeared somewhere between Taiwan and Korea, and I am looking to replace them.

So, basically, if you have some room in your bag, or don't mind dropping them in the mail, I would be your new best friend if you can find them. I know they are available in really cheap paperback versions, that cost about 1000 won each (that was a few years ago...). I know he has written many, many books, but I am happy with any or all of them. I could be more specific about titles if you want, but I cannot remember off the top of my head.

I am happy to reimburse you for any expenses and the cost of the books, or, if you prefer, we could work out a swap, if you need anything reasonable in the US, as I am going for a week at the end of June. Anybody who can help me, or who knows a way to get these damn books, PM me. Thanks!

Have you tried National Bookstore?

Oh, and the exchange rates aren't as good as they used to be so they will cost more.

(before: p55 = $1. Now: p40=$1.)
