Promoting Sei Oriana (SSAB Samoan Stationery and Books) Gift Shop's book fair on the 27th to the 29th of December after Christmas and Boxing day festivities.
I'll definitely be going not only because my books are sold at the store but would also like to support their cause and pick up some books of my own as they specialise in not only Samoan specific books but also on Pasifika books as well as stationery.
Growing up, I've always enjoyed reading and have passed this gift onto my children who also possess the love of reading as it magical when a written page comes to life in your head and sometimes even better than the movie version.
I'm hoping that I can pick up some of the older books that were written some 100+ years ago by writers such as the Rev. George Brown or Rev. John Williams as they were writers who documented about the old Samoa and were the anthropologists of their time who devoted much time to writing about Samoa as they saw the changes in Samoan society with the onset of Christianity and modern times in their day.
I'm also hoping to pick up some more contemporary works such as some of the more academic essay collections and recent works that of writers. I think also that my beloved will be interested in these too as he pursues his Masters degree studies next year regarding the faaSamoa and his topic.
So highly recommending to fellow readers to check out this sale at their store located on: the corner of Mascot Road and Bader Drive next to Fale Samoa or the big Samoan house as looking forward to this annual sale and hoping to pick up a few book bargains along the way...
