In the spirit of the upcoming #GrillAndReadAbuja2 Reading Festival coming up this Saturday, we had a chat with Funmi, the Sales Manager of the newly opened Twang Africa Bookstore and this is what she had to say.
BM: Can you tell us a little about Twang Africa?
Funmi: Twang Africa is an all-round book collector, distributor and retailer. We believe books are precious gifts that pass on knowledge from generation to generation. For us, everyday someone gets entertained or educated by book (s) bought through our platform, is a great day. We strive to provide our customers with an eclectic collection of books cut across various genres at surprisingly affordable prices. True Story! We offer the best prices for books in all genres in Nigeria.

BM: We are going to hold you to that claim. What kind of books do you sell?
Funmi: Well, it is an all-round book hub. So we sell all kinds of books. All genres. From fiction, motivational, business, non-fiction, classics, to religious books. The list is endless! Our stock list comprises of a wide variety of books. Just visit twangafrica.com and you would see. Basically if it is written and bound, there is a good chance you would find it in our store. If you don’t find a book you want, you can request for it and if it isn’t available, you can add it to your Wishlist and the moment it is available, you would be the first to know.

BM: How is Twang Africa different from other online book stores?
Funmi: It’s actually not very different. We all sell books online and deliver nationwide to our customers. But I guess you are asking in the terms of the services we offer.
