In the Belly of the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale

Back Into the Belly of the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale
I went to the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale (BBWBS) 2019 last Thursday with two colleagues from work. With a working budget, we selected books that are valuable to our reading needs and curricular offerings. While we were able to select books that mirror our curriculum, the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale does not really offer much for academic reading. It does support and feed the personal reading interests anc choices of people. And because a hardbound book is priced at less than 200 Php, it was worth our time and effort!
We had one trolley of books that contain a few science and math non-fiction titles, Roald Dahl, Firzgerald and of course, Shakespeare. We picked art and design books, self help and skills books like story boarding, tips for every day creativity and mindfulness. We were happy with our selections and yes, these books gave us sparks of joy!

In and Out of the Belly of the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale
My trip to the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale last week was what I expected it to be. It is big and really, really bad. For where else can a reader find hard bound books as low as Php 100.00 pesos with a 2016 copyright but in this book bonanza. I couldn't help but wonder how the organizers and business people behind this sale successfully staged it all. I think of the writers and the creative team who published these books and their royalties.
If anything, Filipino readers with book budget allocations per year benefited a lot from the sale. The selections of titles and how the books were categorized address readers in a very personal way. Fiction books are grouped together occupying more than half of the entire World Trade Center hall. From Young Adult (YA) novels, romance, graphic novels and children's books in various formats and presentations, readers can rummage through the tables to their heart's content. As a school librarian, it was the children's books, YA books and graphic novels areas that enthralled me! A day's visit is not enough.
The Non-Fiction books are likewise geared towards the personal interest of readers as these were arranged according to travel, cookery, hobbies and crafts, history, biography, business and references. Topics that would appeal to individual readers It does not have the academic arrangement of the Manila International Book Fair. Of course. What was I thinking? This is not to say that librarians and teachers did not benefit from the sale. I met a friends from the profession that day I went and they were happy to acquire 10-15 books for a book budget of 3-5 thousand pesos.
The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale is on its last day today, Sunday, February 25. It is the 32nd anniversary of the People Power Revolution. If you have not been to this book sale, go visit and buy a book or two. If you and I can still buy books we want to read, then there is still freedom to be had.
Read and take flight!
