Annually, bookstore sales are being held by bookstore owners.
Instead of having the books become too dusty and old, the bookstore owners sell their books with the lowest price usually from 50 to 80% off.
In addition with that, they also put in their sale a lot of office supplies, school supplies and art supplies for sale goers which are really not bookish.
