Unluckily for me, I won't be able to visit this Book Fair, although it sounds very tempting. I'm a liitle far away... in Peru. But anyway, it was great to learn something else about your country, a very long way from mine. All the best for you and your bookish sisters from another bookish!

Much to talk about, but first I wanted to make a request. Can you list the titles of the books you bought at the fair? My bro is coming back to the States from Amman in September, and I want to know if there are any books I should ask him to bring along. Thanks! :) Tololy! How’s it hangin?

At UBCC there are books for one-two-three JDs only, at Ahliyya I bought all of the Arabic books for half the price written on the cover, and at MES (Al Nothom Al Haditha) I bought all the blue-covers for a little less than the cover price, and in all cases you find books for less than you would if you are going to buy them from regular bookshops. I can't say the same about other stands though, at Collins things were more expensive than at Prime Mega Store, so you need to have an idea about prices before fishing for your wallet.</p> <p>Arabista, thank you.
