I went to the Big Bad Wolf book fair in San Fernando, Pampanga, Philippines, on July 18, 2019.
It's got a huge selection of hugely discounted books. Many look pretty new too. Even the worn ones don't look so tattered.
They have so many topics- from design, art, architecture, history, literary fiction, graphic novels, genre fiction, cooking, business, religion, games, crafts, and more.
If you just want to see the layout of the venue, skip ahead to 00:30 up till 09:04.
Fast forward any bits you find boring, and pause when you want to see a book title if I went too fast.
In the timestamps below, I also mark as "book spotlight" books that I found interesting or noteworthy.
I have a 36 second clip (09:10) of my rest stop dinner on my way home, just so you can see some local color.
From 09:48 to the end, I show you guys the fifteen books I bought and their corresponding prices.
