OMAN
STUDIES CENTRE
Bookshops recommended for new and second-hand books on Oman, Zanzibar and the Arab World in general
Many out-of-print books on Oman are still available in the second-hand and
antiquarian booktrade. There are specialized bookshops for both new and out-of-print
books which I wish to recommend for your book search after buying books for
the Oman Studies Centre library over the past 25 years. Should you wish to add
further addresses, please send a message to jduester@pobox.com
Please refer to this recommendation when contacting the bookshops.
