You can check http://www.qatarusedbooks.wordpress.com. They advertise your used books on the website, or you can simply donate it. They just opened a facebook page http://www.facebook.com/UsedBookStoreQatar in which there going to be a community of people interested in book swapping, opening a book club etc.

I was simply fooled by the responses to this post and I wasted my time visiting the Virgin bookstall, villagio and the Abu Karbal bookstall. There is absolutely no selection, and books are not really a priority commodity for even Jarir and Virgin. Why cant any corporate see an opportunity here?

There Are no good bookstores here if you are used to European and American Bookstores. The best is though Virgin Megastore in Villagio.

I buy myself most of my books from www.amazon.com and get them shipped to Qatar with Aramex Shop and Ship service (www.aramex.com)

It depends what are your interest of reading as you will find lots of options and books accordingly...

In general the answer is YES all over Qatar...

in addition to Virgin and Jarir, there are two other good bookshops (both in the new-mirqab road - between salwa road and al-sadd):

- Family Bookshop

- Abu Karbal Bookstore

JARIR BOOKSTORE:

It's next to Ramada Intersection, opposit of StarBucks Cafe.

There is a big variety of books from all around the world in many languages.

Virgin Store in Villagio:

Very nice range of books as well.

I get my books from those two places.

:D
