Today we’ve got a contest that’s an, ahem, perfect match for the fans who have been with us over the long years.

The first 50 all-correct answers will receive not just letters to redeem BBWB 2012 preview passes, but also a set of four BBWB bookmarks–collectors’ items re-issued especially for this contest. >D

The rules are simple. Take the following password to our customer service counter and repeat it to our team.

Big Bad Wolf Aftermath: The Other Password

The Password – Rules and Guidelines

Salutations, faithful minions!

The Aftermath Sale is in full swing now–and it appears we underestimated the power of our minions! Queues ran long, tempers ran short and common sense ran shorter amongst a number of queue cutters. To you would-be cutters–you know who you are and the Wolf is not pleased with you. We are under instructions to devour those who cannot keep the peace tomorrow. Seriously now.

And to the rest you who stayed honest, we salute you. Its your dedication that makes the Sale the success that it is! Let us see if we can make it up to all of you.

There is now a second password that you can now use to claim preview passes for the Big Bad Wolf Sale in 2012. The venue has already been booked–it’s MAEPS again–so you can bet there will be plenty of space, plenty of books, and plenty of low, low, prices to be had.

The procedure is the same. Memorise this password and tomorrow, head to our customer service counter and repeat it to them. The first 100 to repeat the password at the Big Bad Wolf Aftermath Sale will be able to claim a letter redeemable for a Big Bad Wolf preview pass in 2012. Don’t let greed tempt you, now–if you got a pass-letter today, let someone else have a turn. >)

Big Bad Wolf Aftermath: The Password

The Password – Rules and Guidelines

Ah, that was a refreshing rest…*ahem*

Salutations, faithful minions! Did you miss us? >D

After a short wolf-nap, your faithful Black Paw is back with more contests for you. We have much in store planned for you in the next few weeks, but perhaps you are still buried deep in your spoils from the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale! I know I am. So we’ll start off with some very light entertainment for the Big Bad Wolf Aftermath sale, where we’re selling off the damaged and leftover books from the BBWB Sale. And we are talking rock-bottom prices, from RM5 and below, from Nov 24-28. My tail twitches just thinking about it!

Now, next year’s Big Bad Wolf Book Sale is going to be even bigger and badder, and we know you want in on those great prices as early as you can. We’re going to let you do exactly that–with a password.

…Of course I’m going to share it with you here. I’m not all that evil.
