It was nice meeting up with you as well, for shisha i'm there, for a movie on Wafi rooftop i'm there, books though, you are on your own hahahahaha.

Seriously there is a pretty good used book store on Diyafa near the Rotana.

Yes, the House of Prose book stores are great, you trade in your old books and pick up other ones there.

book of prose...cool will check it out!!...thanks guys...movie wafi roop top sounds like a good idea...hey fayz...going to traders vic tom...if you interested?...lemme know..will call ya laterz...take it easy!!...

There are two House of Proses.

One is in Jumeriah Plaza, the pink coloured mall just south of Magrudy's mall on Beach Road (you can walk to it from Magrudy's mall).

The other is at Ibn Battuta mall - however you access it from OUTSIDE Andalucia court. It's in what was a big carpark next to Geant, but is now a construction site for a new Movenpick hotel.

nice to have you back secret.

Thanks! I never left, I'm just a bit intermittent here.

there are a couple of places down Karama way too. you just have to hit the place on foot and you'll find them. there is one just down from Lulu's and another more towards Bur Dubai way opposite Burjuman centre in a little road just off the main road. can't remember the name off hand but i've got the flyer at home and i'll post it soon as i remeber.
House of Prose is still my favourite though.

One good thing about House of Prose - you can resell them all the books you buy from them, they will pay half price. (The only exception is books in their discount bin I think). Plus you can sell other books that you have.

The nice thing about buying slightly battered books is you feel less bad if you spill water on them while reading at the swimming pool or beach, and so on.

Hey there all,

Was at House of Prose on Jumeirah road just yesterday and its HEAVEN!!! There is a huge selection of books for around 20 aed in general.... and they give you 50% reduction on your next purchase if you bring it back. Its a lovely quant l'il ole place! DEF worth a visit.

If oyu can pick up the new Dubai Explorer, just out at 75 aed i think. its got lotsa good info like that in there.....
