The French bookshop have a new manager now, Fadi Sharbain, he is probably the best bookseller/bookbuyer in Jordan. His knowledge of books is amazing and he is up to date on everything, at least when it comes to books. He took up his positon recently and he promised me that a lot of changes will be coming shortly to the bookshop. He will continue to bring books in French, Spanish, Italian but will now concentrate on the English Language for obvious reasons. They also have a nice cafe there and free WIFI. The location of the bookshop is in Jabal Webdeh. Mona A big reader. Hi All,

Their employees are very knowledgeable in books, which is a rarity in ANY kinds of shop in Jordan, plus they're friendly. The prices are great, good Italian coffee, wifi, and the location is special.

Next time when you come to the Shop ask for me "Ra'ed" I'll invite you for a cup of coffee in the shop and don't consider it as a bribe, because coffee is for free in our shop anyway. thank you for your comment. hope to see you soon in the shop.

But, if you're looking for children's books I have to recommend The Good Book Shop, in Rainbow street..they have an amazing collection of children's books..so creative and they keep bringing new stuff so often..I go in to buy a couple of books for a kids birthday and end up buying more for my kids..they also have a lovely corner for reading and coloring and you can have a decent cup of coffee there too.

I hope this one will beat it to spare me the long trips! So far I haven’t found a better bookshop (in terms of diversity and availbility) that the University Bookshop in Gardens Street.
