THE BIG BAD WOLF BOOK SALE MAKES A COMEBACK TO PENANG!
9:40:00 PM
Yayyy, Malaysia’s favourite Book Sale
makes its seventh stop as part of its nationwide tour to spread the joy of
reading. I bet everyone know about Big Bad Wolf. I was super happy to know that BBW are here at north area (Pulau Pinang), my last time joined this Big Bad Wolf at The Mines during my studies back then in USIM around 2011.
Following a successful turnout at the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale in
Gurney Paragon last year, the Book Sale returns from 18
July – 28 July 2019, this time making a stop at Bukit Mertajam’s Mydin Mall! Open to all for FREE from 10.00am till 12.00
midnight daily, the 11-day Book Sale is definitely one not to be missed by
Penangites!
Widely known to many for its attractive discounts of 75% - 95% off
recommended retail prices, the Book Sale will feature a diverse collection of
books from different genres. Available
in English and Bahasa Malaysia, books that will be on sale include bestsellers,
young adult titles, children’s books, romance, sci-fi, crime, thriller,
business books, art and design, cookbooks and many more.
“From
what we have seen through our previous Sales here and with the opening of our
sister company, BookXcess in Gurney Paragon earlier this year, Penangites are a
bunch of book lovers that never cease to amaze us with their generous support. We
have always known that Penang was a stop we couldn’t miss. Hence, thanks to all
the support and feedback we’ve received, we are back again, and this time, we
are bringing the Book Sale to Mainland Penang,” said Andrew Yap, Founder of the
Big Bad Wolf Book Sale.
While
visitors can enjoy a vast selection of books from different genres, parents
heading to the Sale will be delighted to find books suitable for their little
ones as well. A strong believer that reading should be a habit instilled since
young, the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale will have an assortment of children’s books
ranging from activity books, colouring books, storybooks, picture books and
many more.
Aside
from those books, parents can also look forward to the Magical Books that will
be on sale during the whole duration. Featuring cutting-edge Augmented Reality (AR)
technology that revolutionises reading for young ones, the Book Sale will feature 13 interesting titles with content ranging
from educational tales to famous bedtime stories. With characters that “comes-to-life”, these
interactive and engaging books can assist
in a child’s learning as they are able to read, play and learn at the same
time.
Moreover,
more than 40 local publishers such as Kualiti Books, Sasbadi, PTS and Pelangi
will be participating in this year’s Big Bad Wolf Book Sale in Penang, bringing
educational titles at discounted prices. Malaysian novels titles by Buku Fixi,
Lejen Press, DuBook Press and Iman Publication can also be found at the Sale.
A big advocator of believing that everyone
has the right to learn, the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale is activating its Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) arm – the Red Readerhood (RRH) by partnering with
four beneficiaries, which include Teach for Malaysia, Children’s Protection
Society Penang, The Salvation Army Penang Children’s Home and HOPE worldwide
Penang. Benefiting children aged 5 – 17 years old, the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale
will be donating a total of 200 books to these organizations as a head start for
the Red Readerhood programme. Visitors
are also welcome to lend a hand by making a pit stop at the Red Readerhood corner
near the cashiers to purchase and donate books of their liking.
Started
since 2009, the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale is not planning on slowing down anytime
soon and will be continuing its voyage to make books affordable to all around
the world. This year, the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale has successfully travelled to
states such as Pahang, Johor, Sabah, Sarawak, Negeri Sembilan and will be
making appearances in other states in Malaysia like Terengganu and more before
finally returning to Kuala Lumpur to celebrate its 10th Year Anniversary
Sale in December.
Selling more than just books, customers can also purchase Big Bad
Wolf badges and magnets at the Sale.
