By KT Leong

Big Bad Wolf Books, globally recognised as the World’s Biggest Book Sale, announces their highly anticipated return to Ipoh. Opening their doors from 3 to 13 July at AEON BIG Falim, from 10 am to 10 pm, this 11-day literary extravaganza is set to transform the local reading landscape by combining a profound celebration of literacy with spectacular, unmissable consumer rewards.

Under its core global advocacy movement, Big Bad Wolf Books continues its mission to make high-quality reading affordable and accessible to everyone. In an increasingly digitalised world, this return to Ipoh emphasises the irreplaceable value of the printed word as a lifelong investment for the mind. To mirror this timeless worth, this year’s event elevates the shopping experience by offering visitors the ultimate treasure hunt: the chance to take home a prestigious Valcambi 10-Gram Gold Bar as the grand prize.
