Just like the other outlets, visitors can find almost any genre of books here at BookXcess’ Sunway Big Box outlet.

As reported by Mashable, Andrew Yap, Co-Founder of BookXcess Sdn Bhd explained that the company has a goal of instilling the love of books and reading again within Malaysians. He said,
“We are calling all parents to instill the reading habit and increase the number of books exposed to their children in terms of variety. Reading increases knowledge, builds character, improves one’s thinking process and widens your awareness of social, economic and environmental issues.”

For coffee lovers, get your coffee and maybe some desserts on the side at Cafe Wolf too! Wow! What a great way to promote reading. Make sure you drop by the outlet in Sunway Iskandar as they have multiple promotions that you don’t want to miss.
