“I came at 9.30 a.m. and the line was already long,” Safitri, one of the quiz winners, told tempo.co.

Safitri has visited the event for two years in a row as she found the books more affordable than ones sold in bookstores and online marketplaces. “Last year I bought a book here for Rp 50,000 ($3.55). The same book cost Rp 300,000 in an online store,” Safitri said.
Situated in halls 6 to 10 of ICE BSD, the sixth BBW offers 60 to 80 percent discounts. (wir/wng)
