Pakistani Readers discussion

Aoa All,

I am trying to find out that how can a person get original books in Pakistan?

I tried liberty books but they have limited collection (I am looking for books in cybersecurity and entrepreneur niche). I tried Amazon but it has too high delivery charges.

Is there anyway to not go for unethical means like pirated books/ebooks and go for original ones with ease?

Walaikum salam

Try these online bookstores; Paramount, Saeed book bank & Fabingo. They are a bit better then Liberty in terms of collection.

One other thing that I frequently do, is that keep an eye out for people, acquaintances visit Pakistan from abroad. Share links from Amazon with them, links of the books you want, and ask them to bring them to you whenever they visit.

But the truth is, that you can't evade the scarcity availability of good books in Pakistan.

I respect your opinion about not liking to promote privacy n all. But the fact is that this ideology will keep you from acquiring knowledge while you are in Pakistan.

And one more thing, try not to miss the 'International Book Fair' if you are in Karachi, especially when you are in such a dire need of some good and hard to find books by foreign publishers.

Fabingo doesn't exist anymore. Readings is best they have better collection. You can also send them isbn of any book that you want and they will import it for you. I have done this many times no advance required nothing.

Thanks. Ill try readings. BTW how much extra do they cost for importing books?

They don't charge anything additional. You can just email them and they will order them for you.
