Maadi Used Books: A Literary Oasis In Maadi’s Street 9
A goldmine of literary finds, this bookstore will have you entranced within its shelves for hours.
“Words are the part of silence that can be spoken.” - Jeanette Winterson, Lighthousekeeping.
Profound and hypnotic, there is a certain enchantment to books and the written word; in the way we’re transported to far-off realms, in how emotions that were once suppressed within us find their way to our surface, triggered by the sight of inked letters and words carefully arranged on slightly yellowed pages, in the way we’re lulled into this dreamlike reverie, wishing we could stay there forever.
Such ephemeral escapes are rare, but in this literary refuge tucked away in Maadi’s Street 9, the fantasy can last as long as you want it to. Upon entering Maadi Used Books, your eyes will be greeted by the sight of books stacked floor to ceiling, forming intricate pathways guiding you through different genres and eras of words, art, and knowledge; a labyrinthine of literature.
With layer upon layer of books hiding behind each other on the shelves, one could spend hours exploring - and that we did - and not even scratch the surface of what Maadi Used Books has to offer. This bibliophilic utopia is a goldmine of literary finds, with books dating back decades, encapsulated in a timeless world. And with vintage and collector's editions scattered throughout the shelves, the dedicated amongst you may be able to walk away with an invaluable find.
Don’t be jealous, but we may or may not have found a 1972 Folio Society Collector’s Edition of Shakespeare’s Pericles.
