Where to buy various things and whatnot
I decided to do a bout of cleaning up my publication list, documenting some of the information on the various editions, and summarising it all to let people know where you can still buy each book. For readers not based in Singapore, BooksActually delivers overseas at quite generous rates.

The blue (first edition) and red (second edition) of the original 44 poems are out of print, though you might be able to snipe a copy of the red one at Brotherhood Books or resellers. Since 2015, only the upsized edition of 88 poems remains in print. The yellow (first edition upsized) is out of print, and the current version is green (second edition upsized), which you can get from BooksActually, Kinokuniya, Localbooks.sg, or Gerakbudaya for Malaysian friends.
