Book Sale

manara-bookshop

Al- Manara Bookshop, one of the first and best book stores in Kuwait, have got a great sale on at the moment. ALL their books are 1/2 price !!

And before you start thinking that they’re going to be old books from years ago (as I did when I heard about the sale), a lot of them are very recent and they have a pretty impressive selection. Especially in the travel section where they are selling all the popular guide books from Time Out to Fodor’s and Lonely Planet. Most of the travel guides are from 2008 and 2009. I picked up the Fodor’s guide books to Italy 2008 and London 2009 and paid around KD 8 for the two.

They’ve also got a decent selection of other categories including language books, novels and a big selection of children’s books.

Al Manara Bookshop is in Salmiya opposite Eureka electronics, next to The Video Club.

Went there a few days ago and asked the guy there if they were closing down, he said no. Maybe they just want to renew their collection?

Well that’s good news because I still think its one of the best bookshops in Kuwait. You could be right then.
