Third time’s the charm as the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale makes a much-anticipated return to Manila. 

The sale officially opened its doors on Feb. 14 and will run until Feb. 24 at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.

Voracious readers can look forward to getting their hands on 33,000 titles including 17,000 brand new titles that will be available for the first time at 50 percent to 90 percent off recommended retail price. Entry to the 11-day World’s Biggest Book Sale is free. 

Around 2 million English books will be available with prices as low as P60 for the first time with the introduction of the ‘Crazy Deals’ promotion which offers further markdowns.

Bookworms who love escaping reality through fiction reads will find ’13 Reasons Why’ by Jay Asher, ‘Elevation’ by Stephen King, ‘Percy Jackson’s Greek Gods’ by Rick Riordan and John Rocco and ‘The 13th Reality: The Complete Series’ by James Dashner among the titles on hand.

Genres such as young adult, literature, romance, thrillers, self-help, architecture, graphic novels, bibles and more will be available at the sale. Children who are fans of Terry Deary can go for titles such as ‘Horrible Histories: Terrible Tudors’ from the bestselling series. The little ones will take delight in browsing through the endless children’s books including pop-up books, board books, sound books, activity books and more.

The Magical Books series were introduced last year with six titles to tremendous response from parents who discovered the magic of the Augmented Reality books. 

This year, back by popular demand, 12 new titles will be introduced including two ‘come-to-life’ puzzle sets that have an added dimension of fun as an exciting game can be played through the free application on smart gadgets. 

“The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale is not just about selling books to target readers; we hope to change the habits of society and their mindset to empower and inspire someone to want to pursue a dream. Many of us are not raised with the habit of reading, but I believe that it’s never too late to start. It is just our third visit to Manila but we have started to witness the power of books being able to transform lives,” said Jacqueline Ng, co-founder of the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale.
