marcyfrost: I see no reason why should we waste the time and ring City Centre management up. When and if there will be a bookstore, we will go there. The store should be after the potential customers, and not customers after the store.

From my experience (and not only in the Middle East), one can say it is there, only when it is there and not "putting finishing touches". Until the store is opened it is all RUMOURS. Btw. same about Magrudys. There are lots of cases when UAE based companies were announcing ther expansion, and 3-4 years after the official announcement still nothing was happening.
