THE fourth edition of the Big Bad Wolf book sale is back — and this year the wolf’s spine-tingling howl is louder than ever.
The book sale, touted to be the world’s biggest book sale with more than 1.5 million books from across the world, is organised by BookXcess, a one-stop remainder book retail outlet located in Amcorp Mall in Petaling Jaya.
The event is scheduled to run from Oct 7 to 16 at an exhibition park in the Klang Valley.
“Organising the world’s biggest book sale has always been a personal ambition,” said BookXcess chief executive officer Andrew Yap.
All set: Yap and Ng (right) are all set for the big sale. “After almost a year of scrupulous planning, long hours of painstaking work, and travelling to major global capitals to source for the best-value books, the event is a reality.”
The book sale, affectionately dubbed the Big Bad Wolf sale, attracted more than 80,000 fans last year.
The organisers hope to attract more than 500,000 fans this year.
All books in every category will be sold at discounts ranging from 75% to 95% of the usual retail price.
Avid readers and collectors will also be spoilt for choice with a wide selection ranging from latest paperbacks, coffee table books, box sets, pop-up art books, and backdated imported magazines – and something for everyone.
“We love books and it’s our passion,” said Yap, who runs the business with his wife Jacqueline Ng.
“Our greatest satisfaction comes from selling books at unbelievably low prices and making them available to the widest cross-section of book lovers.”
The husband-and-wife team behind BookXcess has spared no effort to ensure that this year’s Big Bad Wolf sale is an unqualified success.
“Our goal is to revive the joy of reading and make books available to all Malaysians at bargain prices,” states Yap.
OCBC Bank is a partner for this year’s sale. The bank will host a number of promotional activities in support of the Big Bad Wolf sale.
OCBC credit cardholders will also enjoy an additional 5% discount during the sale.
