Depending on where you are located, you can buy the books as a set on the official SBHK site or individually at bookstores such as Seeds, Yesasia, local bookstores in Singapore and Malaysia (which is where we got ours) .
For instance, if you purchase the entire set online on the SBHK website, the entire series will set you back HKD$2280, approximately USD$315. Shipping will set you back USD$98.
In Singapore/Malaysia bookstores, you can get individual books at the local books for approximately SGD$7 each.
If you are keen to try it out, I really recommend that you get the entire set instead of individual books. Because the reading program only works effectively if it is used in the precise reading order. As mentioned, each lesson builds upon the previous ones, so if you miss even 1 book, you miss out on 20 Chinese words which are then repeated in the subsequent books.
I made the mistake of getting them individually in Singapore, and when I wanted to complete the series, it was far more tedious than I expected! And unfortunately, as of 2022, Sage Books are pulling their sales out of Singapore and Malaysia, so if you find any of the individual titles, they are likely to be old stock, and it is getting very hard to complete the full set, as a few readers ahem shared with me.
So if you want to utilise this series properly, you have to take the plunge and invest in it. Both time and money (quite a lot of money I know!).
