Big Bad Wolf 2014 – Everything you need to know!

11:27 pm Deelicious 6 Comments

This is the one book fair that everyone has been waiting for. By now, some of you would probably had visited this awesome book fair a few times and maybe some of you are planning to do so.

If you haven't done so, this is one good book fair that you should go. And I do recommend you to visit this awesome book fair - with more than 3.5 millions of books to choose from, you can't possible give this a miss! (But I have to say, Chinese selection is pretty much limited)

Yupe, this is me -- Deelicious.

But before you get going, here's what you consider, prior your visit to Big Bad Wolf 2014.
  1. Clear car space
    • Make some space - either in your car boot, passenger seats? If you are going to carpool, then at least make sure there's enough space in your car boot, you don't want to end up carrying all the heavy books on your lap or hug it all the way home.
  2. Identify how much space you have at home.
    • You can get very excited in the book fair (easily) and start picking up books that you never imagine buying or reading - that's ok but make sure you have a place to store or keep the books you bring home. You don't want to have the books lying around your home or look messy at the small cupboard of yours.
  3. Budget
    • I get very excited in this book fair, the mindset is like, "everything is cheap" - it is indeed cheap but it's best to set a limit, know how much you would like to spend. I had about 44 books at RM600+, I probably have to step on the break when it reaches RM700! So, spend within your budget, pick and choose all the books you want. Those nice to have, put it back where it belongs.
  4. Equipment/Tools
    • So, you have lots of books you aim to buy? Sure, no problem - bring whatever you need, from luggage bags to makeshift trolley or even non-woven bags, size depends on your shopping list. Look at those smart, experienced book fair peeps!
    • Boxes are provided, at entrance, on your right - make sure you grab one before you start picking your books.

Some of you might need bigger ones....

Nice pink head gear dude! :P

This is ok jugak!

Nice!

Ok, we got the trolley, boxes juga siap! Let's start shopping for books!

Here's some selection of books available in the book fair...
 
Yupe, they got this too! Box set for collectors!
 

 



At young adult/romance section.... Hmmmm.....

And I got this! Interesting book!
LOTS of cook books!

Oh my, oh my! I had to take this!



And I am one happy guy - I got so much of cook books from this fair!
And all the MAYO CLINIC series....

What to expect and TIPS?
  1. Crowd
    • It's definitely crowded BUT since it's 24 hours -- trying going at dinner timing or midnight! I went at midnight last year, much less crowd and better cruising around for books!
      I hope this helps!
  2. Books Storage Area
    • I am so amazed by this! I didn't bring my luggage with me but with the boxes and books, this is definitely helpful! Thank goodness for this!
      I am so thankful for this!
  3. FOOD?
    • One floor up! Food and beverage is pretty near.... take a break and fill your hungry stomach. Good choice of food available, from KFC to Sushi King. However, here's some of those that I had and my take on the food.
      Didn't managed to try this though!
      I had the meat loaf! Quite yummy!
      You gotta try this!

      In minutes, this is done! Yum!
      This is.... RM7 I think!
       

      Orange juice - fresh! From Freshcart!
      Must have coffee!
      I am so glad they are here!
      Barista making my latte!
      From RT Pastry!
      I am SINGLE bananas! RM1 each @ Freshcart!
      You can actually order online from Freshcart - and have your fruits delivered to you!
       
      Sorry, I had to do this. But Freshcart made me do it! Look at the oranges behind me!
  4. Porter Service! I almost didn't believe it. Yes, they have porter service if you are buying a lot and you can't possible carry everything, ask and get them to help you. Just holla any of the friendly assistants there... But don't drama, ok? If you buy 2 or 3 books, please don't ask for porter service, malu saje ya...

    Get a number, collect at the main entrance. Simple!

And this year, what I find interesting is....

You want a BOOK CHAIR? Yupe, RM1499 - it's all yours.
Fancy this chair?
Any Star Wars fans out there? Get this Star Wars Blueprints at RM1499!


And on your way out.... You might be interested to pick up some interesting signage, if this is your thing!

Haha, not too sure what it is indicating though....
I would advise you not to.
And I wanted to get this!
I think I cover almost everything that I can think of - feel free to comment if you got more tips or new stuff to add on! This book fair is at MIECC, Mines, from now till 16 December 2014!

Oh! And if you buy more than RM100 in a single receipt, you'll get bookmarks, at the cashier counters! Also, if you purchase more than RM200 (I think), you will get to sign up for membership (FOC) before you exit! Don't forget.... 

Shop for books! More info, click here.
That's about it folks!

Be deelicious,
Deelicious
