The Big Bad Wolf Is Big And Bad!

Look at those two-legged silverfishes gnawing on the books. The world’s biggest book sale required an ultra-wide lens to take in the phenomenal view.

Currently running at the Mines Convention Centre, Big Bad Wolf 2012 Book Sale is chewing up another world record. There are 3 million books on sale.

All these is quite surprising and ironic. We were told repeatedly that the average Malaysian reads less than 2 books a year. No one in the hall is complaining though. New books are going for 75% to 95% below regular prices.

The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale 2012 is from 7th to 23rd December 2012.

Big Bad Wolf Book Sale 2012

The Big Bad Wolf In A Big Bad Orchard

"I'm gonna eat you..."

"I'm gonna eat you..."

The world’s biggest book sale is taking place at the world’s biggest tropical fruit orchard. The venue, MAEPS, is located within the picturesque MARDI agriculture research park. Fruit trees, vegetable plots and ponds make up the landscape of this giant green gem.

The location may be remote but bookworms are invading The Big Bad Hall by the thousands. Some of the titles I wanted were already gone when I got there on Monday. Don’t worry. There are still plenty of good books available at bargain prices and the big bad wolf won’t harm you. He just wants to eat your credit card 🙂

Did a watercolour painting of the landscape. Photoshop bibles are on sale there too.
