If you love books, then you know the thrill of stepping into the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale—the world’s biggest book sale that brings millions of books at unbeatable prices. This year, the first stop of Big Bad Wolf Books is none other than Clark. The BBW Book Sale will take place at SMX Convention Center Clark from March 14 to 23. I had the chance to attend the exclusive media tour and press conference. Let me take you inside this exciting event and share why this book sale is a must-visit for every book lover!
Before the sale officially opened, we were invited to a mini tour and press con hosted by Big Bad Wolf Books and Corporation (CDC). The experience wasn’t just about books—it was about discovery, adventure, and the power of storytelling.
The media tour began with an immersive journey through Clark’s history. We visited El Kabayo, a Western-inspired town that transports visitors to the Old West with its scenic landscapes and horseback riding experiences.
Next, we explored the Clark Museum, which provided a deeper understanding of the city’s transformation from an American military base to a thriving commercial and cultural hub. These stops reinforced the theme of discovery—just like finding a hidden gem at the book sale.
The highlight of the tour was the press conference, where Big Bad Wolf Books PR Head Geetha Nair shared the company’s commitment to making books accessible worldwide. “Big Bad Wolf Books is not just about offering great books; it’s about sharing knowledge globally to inspire and empower people to write their own life stories,” she stated. This sentiment resonated with many attendees, emphasizing how books can shape lives and create new possibilities.
Project Director Ley Almeda expressed enthusiasm about launching the 2025 tour in Clark. “Clark is a beautiful city, buzzing with energy, and we’re glad to be back. We’re excited to see the vibrant community explore this year’s collection and enjoy what we prepared for them.”
The event also featured interactive activities, giveaways, and insights into this year’s book selection. They gave away books signed by Big Bad Wolf Books founder, Andrew Yap. It was an inspiring day that set the tone for an exciting book sale.

One of the best things about Big Bad Wolf is the unexpected finds. I’ve been to several book sales, and every time, I walk in with a plan—but I always leave with books I never expected to buy. There’s something magical about letting your curiosity take over, wandering through the aisles, and discovering hidden gems you never knew you needed.
My friend Marrien of heymarrien.com shared a similar experience. In 2019, she attended her first Big Bad Wolf Book Sale without knowing what to expect. She had a wishlist but abandoned it the moment she saw the endless tables of books. She let her hands—and maybe a little bit of fate—do the talking.
Fast forward to 2024, she attended again, and the magic was still there. She came for a few self-help books but left with a whole stack of unexpected stories. That’s the beauty of Big Bad Wolf—you don’t always find what you’re looking for, but you always find what you’re meant to take home.
If you’re planning to attend this year, take this advice from her: Let yourself get lost. The best books will always find you—just like how the best things in life come when you aren’t even looking.
Gather your fellow bookworms, mark your calendars, and make your way to SMX Convention Center Clark. Follow Big Bad Wolf Books on social media for updates and surprises along the way. Happy book hunting!
