Generally I can be found roaming somewhere in the world. I'm originally from Hungary, I grew up in Kuwait, I did my BA in the States, my MA in the UK, and now work in Hungary, but still return to Kuwait regularly :o)

Used books shop in Kuwait city

Did anyone know there's a used books bookshop in Kuwait? On Fahad Al Salem street in Kuwait city.

And best of all, they have a website where you can search their book collection and even reserve books you like. You just have to go pick it up within 5 days.

Here's the link to Q8Books.

Has anyone been to the shop?

The site is cute, although it seems somewhat like a hobby rather than a real hardcore business.

Been there, it is pretty cool.. the guy even showed us this big book on photography with leather jacket and all.... sadly enough some of the best works were censored, black marker over it all... Wish books like that weren't bought into the country in the first place, you know....

I picked up the Joyluck Club from there, it's a good place..

Excellent Find Q8Sultana!

I will make sure to pay it a visit when I return to Kuwait this Xmas. It seems better than Virgin's.
