Don't judge these books by their covers

- The Ear -
April 12, 2011 | 12:00am

DON’T JUDGE THE BOOK. A Pastor of a Protestant church told The Ear: “Pagbantay anang mga libro nga relehiyoso ang cover ug dunay mga Bible verses ... Pipila niini porno ang sud.” The Pastor said these books are not sold in the bookstore. “Gisuroy kini sa mga lugar diin mga estudyante nagpundok-pundok.”

PRINTED ABROAD. The Pastor said these books are printed abroad as shown on their table of constants page. “Beware of these books with misleading covers,” he warns. These are some books you must not judge by their covers.
