A
House of Prose
Presided over by a convivial American named Mike, this comfortably worn-round-the-edges bookstore overflows with second-hand English-language books, from classic lit to obscure biographies and travel guides. After you’ve read your book, you can bring it back for 50% credit towards your next purchase. There’s another branch in Ibn Battuta Mall.

Magrudy’s
Magrudy’s stocks a wide selection of English-language books, with a standout collection of travel, language and children’s titles. There are also intriguing books on Middle East history and politics, and a full complement of coffee-table books on Dubai. Only the magazine selection is weak. Check the website for additional branches.

Book Corner
The number of English and Arabic titles is astounding, but the best reason to come here is for travel-related and children’s products. Look for the ‘Quran Challenge Game’, a wacky souvenir. NB: If you’re buying travel books, check the publication dates (the store stocks out-of-date titles as well as new ones).
