Since 2021, the "12.12 Sale" has been a staple tradition here at Books Mandala. The math used to be simple. We took the date 12/12, added the numbers, and gave you a 24% discount.

But it is 2025. The old math does not work anymore.

We have officially cancelled the 12.12 sale to introduce something bigger, shorter, and more aggressive. Welcome to the 12.13 Sale.

The new math is even simpler. 12 + 13 = 25.

This means we are offering a flat 25% discount on everything. This is our highest discount percentage ever. It is time to clear your wishlists and prepare for the biggest 25 hours of the year.
