I usually do the midnight bookstore run when HP books come out and then hole up for the weekend reading it. However, I will be in Egypt when the last one is relased. Where can I go to buy it? Can I put my name down anywhere? Oh, and I need it in English.

sorry cant help - will proably be able to downoad it from somewhere within a few hours of release!

Ohhh I didn't think of that. However, I want to curl up on the beach with it hopefully, so if anyone has any idea please let me know.
Cheers caroline
Pretty much the best books shops are the American Uni and around Talet Harb in Cairo-
Good Luck
Our Man in Damascus

Is anyone in Cairo that would be willing to call the AUC bookstore for me and ask if we will be able to get it on the release day and if we need to put our names on a list to do so? Please, pretty please?

Is this a Troll ????
Main bookshops for english books in Cairo are the shops of the American University in Dowtown (Midan Tahrir) and somewhere in Zamalek Diwan library in Zamalek Virgin Megastore in CityStars.
As for having Harry Potter on the first day... hey girl, you're in EGYPT there, not in the UK. A good opportunity to read Egyptian litterature and become a little more... errr... educated ?
