Biggest Book Sale

Did you go to the recent Big Bad Wolf Book Sale at MAEPS (Malaysia Agro Exposition Park, Serdang)? Touted as the biggest book sale in the world, I went with three family members on the second last day to check it out. I had gone to the one previously held at Amcorp Mall, but this was a much bigger venue, and so much more books on offer. But Saturday 15th proved to be a 'difficult' day to browse and find what you like because the crowd was quite a hassle, so we were hardly an hour there. Anyway, next time I would ensure that I go on a weekday, so I may have less of a crowd to contend with (I hope).

What did I buy in the hour there? Only three books. One Iraniana novel, Rosewater and Soda Bread by Marsha Mehran (RM8); one memoir, The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid by Bill Bryson (RM8); and Orang Asli and their Wood Art by Anthony Ratos (RM12). At these prices, it is worthwhile to spend some time browsing for the books you like.
