Has anyone been to the Book fair at the mall? I heard about it from a friend and was wondering about their selection of books.

Perhaps you are right, but again it depends what is your area of interest...

What actually do you love to read, maybe one can suggest you to hit where :-)

So far could not grab moments to visit this place but the big Book Fair generally happens by December i guess and brings in wide collection of books.

Lets wait and see.

Thanks felix! that was a very comprehensive feedback!

I went today and ust got children's books, that's their best corner!

But if new books are coming again i might be tempted to go back for a 2nd visit!

One positive thing, the books are damn cheap! Grab it!!. But, stacked with much of Children's & fun books. Other categories are Novels, Gardening, Cook books, Fiction, History, Computer etc., and bunch of self motivation and personal development.

I grabbed some Photography books (not pornography :-)), My wish list books wasn't there. One salesman told me that more books are coming. The drawback he shared is, they have given a copy of each book on display for ministry approval to run this show which they will not get that back. So, book fair isn't FAIR.

When I viewed my photography book that I bought, couple of portraits had been deliberately "colored" black coz of nudity. :-(. Please read the news today in GT about book fair in KUWAIT.

But sure, should visit to pick your choice!!

I actually went and got the paper to check the ad out. I believe it started today and timings are 9am to 10 pm.

AbuSaif, there is a serious dearth of bookstores in Doha! It's one of the things i miss most.

Cinnamonz, thanks a bunch for the web address.
