It's the time of the year again for our annual pilgrimage to BBW for the biggest and badass-est book sale in Malaysia. As usual this is very exciting event for book lovers & parents alike since we can buy books at very good deal starting from RM6 to RM20 including board/hardcover books. Still 5 days left from this date of post, so hurry up!

Parking options; if you're looking for free spot, can opt to park opposite the Mines just outside the Heritage area. There are carpark lots there around the site that used to be a bazaar site now in development. For paid parking, just drive all the way into MIECC, it's a flat rate RM5 per entrance if not mistaken. I've seen people drive up to beside MIECC and the just park outside the carpark (free LOL), not a suggestion and probably risk getting your car clamped. So park at your own risk & choice- i only shared what i see 😏😏
No BBW mobile spotted this year, but this lighting is becoming it's tradition haha.
Entrance is free.
Let the hunt/fun begins.
There is food/cafe available and at affordable prices- slightly higher than normal prices but saves you trouble of going all the way out for some replenishment. Just stop by when you are tired from your hunt & refresh. It's strategically located at window-side corner of the MIECC hall that sells children's activity books.
RM18 for a nasi lemak special with that BIG drumstick. Didn't try this though, was really tempted to actually.
There is also stalls selling BBW merchandise, namely T-shirts, pins and accesories.
Not too sure, what these are for. But seems to be prized books that is of no interest to me ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ
Discounts, now here is a section that you guys should look out for just in case you missed out on all the freebies/discounts.
1. Just using Hong Leong credit card gives you ~10-15% discount. Just cancelled mine last month 😣
2. Send SMS and get 3% rebate off. Limited to 200 customers per day. Forgot to take the big banner displayer in MIECC, but anyway seems like alot of people ignored this as we still able to get discount at 11.40am on a Saturday morning.
3% off every RM99, not bad still a few ringgit off.
3. Free registration, every RM100 you get RM5 off. Basically a 5% off. We have the friendly BBW assistance helping us to enrol as the pack at these counters near entrance.
4. Free bookmark only for members this year. Need to remind the cashiers to give you..since i forgot i didn't get. Printed bookmarks not given freely nowadays, signs of bad inflation in recent year.
(Update: finally i got my hands on one bookmark on our second visit =)
5. Free storage service. Just drop your trolley of books or goods and it will be there for 24 hours in storage, come back to hunt again and re-claim your
equipment/armor/acc/stuff books from cache. Just keep the small piece of numbering, pretty neat stuff for free. We actually did that, didn't want to lug out books to our car 2nd times.
6. Free courier service all the way to Mines shopping mall drop point. Wifey saw this, so i think these BBW assistants are really friendly, polite and speaks proper English and on top of that they actually also do a good service of helping people courier truckloads of their purchase to their car. Didn't know until she see it. Thumbs up to the BBW staff
Finally below is the damage for this year; thanks for another great year of BBW =)
