At least 5 of the wives are happy and smiling
Though the man himself looks a little exhausted..
Haha.. they were probably told that they get to keep the chickens and veggies if they give their best smile for that photo...

With the closure of Borders, I wonder where these HNWI will go for their purchases. KopiKat is probably going to say popular.
Prologue may have been targeted at the affluents, considering the store locations at ION Orchard and now, the 2nd one @ Orchard Central.
Coincidentally, I happened to check out Prologue @ OC today (premises used to house UrbanWrite - another experiment that failed?). OC is pretty deserted whenever I visited, but looking at the businesses there and the shoppers I encountered, many seems quite affluent (from their dressing and mannerism).
Anyway, HNWIs could also easily order their books online from Amazon.com even before they hit local bookstores...
PS. Got Storewide discounts at both Prologues (20% : Non-Members ; 25% : Members), 17-20 Aug only. Free spin with every $50 nett spent (I won a *ahem* limited edition Prologue umbrella for one receipt + 100% refund for another receipt - supposed to have been a Kate Spade wallet but limited to 3 per day)
