SUPPORT MIDDLE EAST BOOKSTORE/ COFFEE SHOP
Brick-and-mortar retailers are facing a challenge. Even before the pandemic, competition from Amazon forced a lot of independent bookstores to close. Thanks to your support, Middle East Books and More defied that trend! Come in and browse, shop, and eventually gather again for book talks, club meetings and film screenings in the bookstore. Of course, we always sell books—and more—online (www.MiddleEastBooks.com). MaY 2021
