World’s largest book sale needs hangar

Dubai – An enormous touring book sale that touts itself as the world’s largest is making its first stop in the Middle East, filling a huge hangar in Dubai with stacks of three million discounted books, open around the clock.

The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale, launched in Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur in 2009, has since regularly toured Asian cities including Jakarta, Manila, Cebu, Colombo, Bangkok and Taipei.

Founder Andrew Yap said: “In a mature market like Dubai, this will give variety to readers.” – Reuters
