In a glorious period when the country’s best sportswriters emerged, Al Mendoza carved his own niche with a unique style polished by his strong literary background. He just didn’t entertain but educate followers of his columns from the early days at the Manila Bulletin to the Philippine Daily Inquirer with his mastery of the sports lingo. The flow of his stories made for a suspenseful start-to-end reading that evoked the plots of a telenovela.
— JONG ARCANO, motoring editor and golf editor of the Philippine Daily Inquirer
Al’s writing style is reader-friendly. Light but insightful! Engaging from beginning to end.
— DANNY “SIR JOHN” ISLA, founding president of Lexus Manila
Al Mendoza is the best columnist in town because his columns can be read and understood by almost anyone due to his consistent use of simple words. He has this good habit of being direct to the point while pursuing his muse. He can write very well on any topic. I also admire his ability to write well in both English and Filipino. For that, Al is a rare animal in the world of writing.
— JAKE P. AYSON, executive officer (ret.) of the National Golf Association of the Philippines
“Spectating” with Al Mendoza is being treated to sideline intimacy with Philippine sports.
— KRIP YUSON, poet, novelist, and sports lover

FAQs
Where do you ship from?
We ship from two locations, Manila and New Jersey. Your books are always sent from wherever they are currently in stock. If an order includes books from both locations, we usually combine everything into one shipment to reduce packing waste. If you would prefer items to be sent separately, just let us know. We are happy to accommodate.
You can read our shipping policy here.
What are your shipping options?
For books shipping from New Jersey, we offer USPS Media Mail, USPS Ground Advantage, and USPS Priority Mail. For non US addresses, we ship via DHL.
For books shipping from Manila to the US, you can choose between two options.
Express: Your book ships directly to you via DHL. This is the fastest option.
No Rush: Your book is included in our regular shipment from Manila to NJ. Once it arrives in NJ, we ship it to you right away via USPS. This option takes longer but helps keep shipping costs lower.
For non US addresses, we ship via the Express option.

How can I reduce my shipping fee?
One important thing to know is that we do not make any profit on shipping. We simply charge what our couriers charge us. Because we ship in bulk, we often receive discounted rates, and we pass those savings directly on to you. Our goal is always to get your books to you as affordably and responsibly as possible.
If you are ever unsure which option to choose, or if timing matters for a specific order, please reach out. We're happy to help.
What is your return policy?

- Sale items and gift cards are final sale.
- We do not give refunds except in cases where we have made an error. If we made a mistake, we will rectify the error and refund reasonable return shipping expenses you incur.
