This is a good website for buying books. The prices are cheaper and they deliver goods very fast, mostly in or two days.

I hope it can help you.

Haven't heard of any wholesale market for books, books are heavily controlled by the government, so it is difficult to find any decent book stores here. I've seen a couple smaller stores sell fake copies of books in poor translations, but never the real imported books. The only time I ever encountered a wholesale book selling was during the Southland Book Festival about a month ago at the Pazhou Exhibition center. I was up to my eyeballs in a sea of books for miles, I had never seen anything like it. Have some patience, they do it at least once or twice a year in GZ.

Buy on Taobao or Amazon, or make a cheap trip on the weekend to Hong Kong, where you can get any book in the world.

Q: Response time taken?

A:Nobody can tell you that! You could look at no-response-time in two ways: 1. 'Nobody is interested in your CV and hiring you ...'; or 2. 'Never, ever stop sending your CV to the daily posted job openings and simply disregard no-replies thingy!' It's wrong, to expect replies from the Chinese advertisers of a new job openings, 'cause Chinese don't behave same as western recruiters by replying: "Thank you for your job application. Unfortunately, you weren't selected at this time. We'll keep your CV on record and if new opportunity arises..." or something in those lines. So, the only remaining choice is no. 2. Looking for the new (non-native E.T.) position in my time in China was like a daily part-time job. Good luck! -- icnif77
