3 months agoVisited today with my friend to get keffiyehs and the store was so lovely. So many books in both Arabic and English. I was so happy to see the wide variety of Palestine-related items too. The owner was so kind-hearted and sweet. He was also so kind to give us both pens as a gift. Genuinely almost cried because it was such a lovely experience. I hope to get to visit again soon even though I'm a bit farther away. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience that I won't forget.

a month agoI should have done this a few weeks ago. This bookstore is such a wonderful resource.The owner of the store was a really nice gentleman that took a moment to help me find what I was looking for. I was visiting from out of town and I wanted to find a good Islamic bookstore. I live on the west coast and so far I have not found anywhere like this. It is a treasure trove. I found so much but I had to keep it light as I was traveling back home the next day. If you ever find yourself in this area you have to check it out. .

4 months agoThis store is a fantastic gem! I went there for the first time and was struck by the fact of how intimate and friendly the bookstore was. I met the owner, Mr. Dhiya Al-Saadawi, who is an incredible and kind person and he gave me a tour of the store and answered all of my questions. I purchased several books and I plan on returning to purchase more. I have been to a lot of bookstores in my life, all over the world, and this is one of if not the best. I highly recommend this bookstore.
