You have more loot than me! I just came back from the sale today; I wish I could've found the Moomin comics or the Murakami or the Kevin Crossley-Holland! I'm pleased with what I found but I probably should have browsed the non-fiction section too, as the books you got seem very interesting!

Sarah: That was RM8 - most paperbacks (fic and non-fic) are 8! :-)
The most expensive - hardbacks like recipe books and coffee table books - are RM20 tops.

Wow. What a haul. How much was the Karen Armstrong book?
