The Little Bookshop

Step off Jeanne D’Arc street and listen for the jazz. If you follow the smooth notes, inevitably you will be brought to the doorstep of The Little Bookshop, where open yellow doors beckon. In the chaos of Beirut, this is a calm, beautiful, interesting space where I never fail to have great conversations with the owner, Adib Rahhal, or to meet like-minded book lovers, eager to suggestion titles, authors and discuss ideas. This is a rare, warm space in Beirut that would be missed if it ever goes away.
