Believe it or not, Dubai does have bookstores from big Corporate bookstore’s to the small Mom-and-Pops run bookstore. The largest chains, such as Borders, Virgin and Book Corner, with a marvellous inviting interior, carry the latest trends, the latest titles with good discounts. Book Corner also as a great collection of non-fiction such as interior design, architecture and art books. A local bookstore ‘Archie’s Lending Library & Bookshop’, not so much on inside decorations, but looks can be deceiving, it’s one of Dubai’s best kept secrets offering books for lending and even a good collection of Comic Books.
The chain bookstores do offer the best variety and selection of not only books. Borders, known through out the world for its children’s sections has delighted parents with live readings to bring their children to listen. Virgin Mega Store is known for it huge selection of music and electronic games and equipment. But, Dubai’s most-loved bookstore is Magrudy’s. Magrudy’s has an excellent selection of English language books. The also have a nice little section for local guide books and maps. The staff, though, is one of the reason’s this bookstore is loved, they are genuinely friendly and their knowledge of the books they carry is impressive. They will even recommend Restaurants Dubai to have a good atmosphere with which to read your newly purchased novel. Their eagerness alone will make you keep coming back just for them and vast knowledge.
Not only does ‘Archie’s Lending Library & Bookshop’ have and a lending policy, but ‘The House of Prose’ has an interesting policy also: buy any book at a very reasonable price, read it, then either keep it or return it to get 50 percent of your money back. What a wonderful idea. This secondhand store is a good resource for a bizarre collection of material ranging from crime novels, romance novels to military strategy via ornithology. So, it depends on your mood, there is an amazing amount of bookstore to choose from in this vastly ever grown Metropolis of Dubai. Happy book hunting and happy reading.
