Some 2,000 avid readers were selected to visit the opening day of the much anticipated Big Bad Wolf 2012 warehouse sale at the Malaysia International Exhibition and Convetion Centre at Mines Resort City this morning.

The lucky visitors were able to gain a sneak peak of the books on sale through a contest organised by BookXcess recently.

Vistors were pleasantly surprised with the pressence of several comic book 'superheroes' including Batman, Superman and Spiderman.

According to Book Xcess CEO, the warehouse sale starts today until Dec 23 and hopes to sell at least 2.5 million books - with discounts up to 95 per cent - throughout the 16 days.

There will also be a play area for kids and a hawker centre with food and beverage stalls.
