The world’s largest book sale, the Big Bad Wolf book sale, is making a comeback to Sri Lanka, marking its presence for the second time this June, which is good news for all reading buffs and bookworms.
The sale brings with it an awe-inspiring selection of books for all ages at fantastic discounts. It promises to be even bigger and better this year, no doubt delighting avid readers who look forward to shopping to their hearts’ content.
The Big Bad Wolf sale saw its inception back in 2009, taking off on a high note since, gaining popularity for its large-scale events across the region, in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines, and was officially recognised as the world’s largest book sale in 2011.
“It is more than just selling books to the public. It’s about empowering a whole new generation, reviving their confidence, and improving their English and level of knowledge with our books. We want our readers to realise that they can make a difference in the world,” stated Big Bad Wolf Books Founder/Managing Director Andrew Yap.
“The Big Bad Wolf got its name by being the ‘biggest’ and ‘baddest’ sale around. We created a bold, larger-than-life character to encourage children to come over with their families and explore the sale, with the aim of getting them to read more,” Yap added.
Being the biggest of its kind to ever have been initiated in Sri Lanka, it is also the only one of its kind to offer books at very affordable prices, with discounts between 60 percent to 80 percent. The sale runs for 24-hours a day, non-stop for close to two weeks, making it one of the most exciting book events in the world today.
“It’s about the range of books as well - readers and book lovers will find over 1.5 million books covering 20,000 high-end English titles across all genres; from children’s books, fiction, non-fiction, literature, science and rare collector’s titles, to name a few,” stated ProRead Lanka Ltd Director Nishan Wasalathanthri.
“We’re also pleased to announce that it has received recognition from the Ministry of Education of Sri Lanka.”
