Big Bad Wolf (BBW) is the largest book bazaar in Southeast Asia. Presented for the first time in Yogyakarta from 2 to 12 August 2019. This bazaar was held at the Jogja Expo Center (JEC) and was open 24 hours. Previously BBW was present in the cities of Jakarta and Bandung. This book bazaar was initiated by PT. Jaya Retail Indonesia. To commemorate National Children's Day and welcome Indonesian Independence Day.
BBW has a mission to promote a culture of reading from an early age and increase interest in reading. In this bazaar there are international books of various genres. Magic Books with Augmented Reality (AR) technology can also be found at BBW.
Visitors also welcomed this bazaar with enthusiasm. One of the visitors named Khansa Afifah and Lily Estelita hopes that BBW will often be done in Yogyakarta
"Okay, it looks like there are a lot of books, it's true that the inside has been arranged so there weren't many people when we came in. Then the collection is really big, so it's really good, I can't stand it, I can't even go shopping, I often have it here," said Khansa Afifah and Lily Estelita takes turns.
Meanwhile, another visitor named Wefindria said, There are lots of things like sticker books, colouring, wipe and clean books for sale, if not at BBW usually the prices of these books are very expensive. Massive discounts ranging from 60% to 80% are given on all international books. Visitors don't need to buy an entrance ticket, it's free.
