Harry Potter in Egypt? Where can I buy it?

Didn't know people could be so addicted to these things. But hey, it does no harm to anyone.

But it's the 7th book strawberita! Simply a must have, even if I have to get it sent dhl - hopefully wont have to.

As far as I can find out, it will be released in all English-speaking countries on July 21. I sincerely doubt that copies will come to non-English-speaking countries that day. You might get in touch with managers of the English-language bookstores in Cairo to see if any of them have actually ordered it. Even if any have, there will probably be a delay.

I am having a hard time calling over ther ainzrka, tht is why I want to find out the details. Thank you so much for attempting to find out.

If anyone call call the AUC bookstore or others mentioned, that would be really nice.

Here is a contact list if anyone is willing.

Summer session is on, so surely you can reach somebody. Have you tried the e-mail address? The only numbers you should bother with are the ones for the manager and Special Orders.

Yea but calling from this phone (it is on the school system) is weird...I have to type in a bunch of codes and things and it just doesn't seem to work. It just rings and then goes flat. Tried the email addy, no response yet.

I also seriously doubt they'll have the book on the first day, except if Virgin in Citystars for instance wants to do a special event. But you're no match for the spoilt rich Egyptian kids who might be there if this does happen.

Honestly, if your main purpose in life is reading "harry Potter", why bother travelling to Egypt ? You had better go to one of these bookshops and buy the trilogy of Naguib Mahfouz (who was awarded the Nobel Prize). Or read the great "Yacoubian building", a bestseller published last year which is an extremely exciting novel and which tells you everything about the real Egypt (islamism, social hypocrisy, police state...). Might be less rich in flying broomsticks than "Harry Potter" but should leave you with a little more culture in the head.

Let it be clear : I've nothing personal against Harry Potter and perfectly undertand it can be an exciting reading - don't want to make a foe out of a magician, wouldn't be cautious. However I think you should concentrate of the great luck you'll have to be in Egypt and let little children be obsessed with buying Potter's book among the first.
