NEW COMMERCE BOOK
Hi welcome back to school teachers!!! As you are well aware the basic Commerce Year7 should be in your school (government school).
The textbook is selling like hot cakes or 'pisang goreng' at bookshops. For your info, the publisher have printed 5000 copies for distribution. I heard from the local distributor, the book will be available by next week (between 13th - 17th Jan 09) again in the bookstore.
As for Commerce Yr8 book by Mr Kennith Chin, is a slight delay, we can't promise when the book will be supplied to government schools but i heard is out in the market by the 13th Jan 2009 at Booker International and Bismi Trading. So you can purchase personally first for your own copy.
For your information they will be two (2) publications for Year 8 Book. One of which is a continuation of Vikki's book by STAR publishing and one is by Mr Kennith Chin.
Any comments on Year 7 Book?
