Known as the World’s Biggest Book Sale, the Sale is a global reading advocacy initiative that aims to encourage people of all ages to discover the joys of reading and inspire them to pursue their dreams and, importantly, empower them with the knowledge to realise them. We believe that the more knowledge that one gain, the better-equipped a person is to meet today’s competitive world’s exacting demands.

Big Bad Wolf Books is the idea of ​​BookXcess founders, Andrew Yap and Jacqueline Ng and was first held in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) in 2009. The books were majorly taken from the stocks of BookXcess, a book store dealing in excess or remaindered books from international distributors. Most of the books sold are in English and have discounts of up to 90%, giving customers the opportunity to learn about new authors and genres they may not have read before.

The book fair sells all kind of books genres, for example fiction, non-fiction, novels, literature, children’s literature and young adult fiction. It also sells merchandise including collectible books and posters, wallpaper, movie posters, tin-plated signs and their own merchandise.

Since its inception, the Big Bad Wolf Books Sale has evolved tremendously, going global and touring 34 cities in 13 countries including Malaysia, such as Cambodia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Myanmar, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, and the United Arab Emirates.
