Try Bookworld...theyre dirt cheap and have quite an okay collection. I just borrowed 'the Bible Code' from them and liked it that I bought it for 20 bucks. I cant bleeeeve how no one helped out on this 1 :roll:

Try Archies Library.
It was 100 aed deposit, 75 aed annual fees and 2-5 dhs per book for 2 weeks ...
04-3967924 - ask them where is the nearest to you.

There was one in one of the shopping centers along Beach Road near Mercato. House of Prose I think.

Surrounded by books... Aug 05, 2007
Thanks Empi...I tried out archies way back. Quite honestly I havent the time to read so my subscription goes to a waste. Im still 'chewing' on my Harry Potter book.
I want to sell loads of books I got which are nice titles. I just dont have the place. One day I hope I own a huge library but for now I need the space and have bags of books to sell off. Anyone know of shops willing to buy?

Why don't you announce a garage sale of your books through this forum and dubizzle? I'm sure you'll have some people interested in buying from you.

Or if you don't really need to make money from the books, donate them to the Medecins Sans Frontieres (www.msfuae.ae). They have book fairs twice a year, I think, through which they raise money for their activities. They accept donations of all kinds of books.

Enjoy
