Books from America, delivered in Egypt

Books are cheap, and cheap is the enemy here — the fixed costs of an order are much the same whether the thing inside is worth $18 or $1,800. This is the one category where ordering several together genuinely transforms the arithmetic, so keep a list and order when it has four or five things on it.

Worth bringing in

  • Academic and professional texts not sold here
  • A specific edition or translation
  • Art and photography books, which carry their cost
  • Several at once

Buy it in Egypt instead

  • One novel you could read on a device
  • Bestsellers Egyptian bookshops stock
  • A single paperback on its own

These come from Barnes & Noble. We buy from more than fifty American shops.
