I have recently purchased this book at Virgin Magastore (at mall of the emirates) in Dubai. You might have noticed the lack of updates in the list. This is primarly due to the fact that i myself did not come across any book worth mentioning during recent times.
Unlike the time i was in san francisco, good book stores are very hard to find in dubai. Although marketed as the future knowledge/services city in the middle-east region, books and avid readers are noticeably absent in this city. The new store at MOE has been opened only a fortnight ago, and is good. Or shall i say, atleast comparable to the bookstores in the western nations. I am a big fan of Borders Bookstore, primarly due to the fact that they have one of the biggest selection of books you would hope for. The Virgin store is very spacious and marketed for the western crowd in dubai.
The books are also priced at international levels, which is very cheap considering that other bookstores in dubai charge atleast 20% extra than the dollar amounts on the books. The only cheap books in dubai are indian editions of some books, which is also a ripoff considering that you are paying in Dhs for something in rupees. Ofcourse books of indian edition are very cheap in india compared to the rest of the world.
The second change in made to the list is not linking the image to amazon bookstore. I decided to post a link to Google Print which allows you to search through the book atleast, incase you are looking for something particular. You can always search for the title in your favoriate bookstore. (You need a google account for searching. If you dont have one, contact me)
