Description:
The House of Prose is a second-hand bookshop, and not a library, which people often mistake it for because of the way it works. The books are sold at half the cost price, and all books bought from the store can be returned at any time for which the management will refund 50 per cent of the cost in cash.
House of Prose is the brainchild of Mike Mcginley who first opened the second hand bookshop in 1993 in Muscat. The idea occurred to me when I was living in Spain. There was a bookstore that would give me money for the books I sell them to. So I bought the idea here.
Over 12,000 books are available in House of Prose, the titles ranging from fictional books, true crime, war stories, autobiographies, travel books, children reading stories, classics, self-help books, language books among many other titles. Most of the books are by popular authors like Stephen King, Jeremy Clarkson, Anthony Horowitz, and Robert Ludlum among many others. Readers can spend hours in the store browsing through the books, with comfortable wooden stools and sofas, which give the store a cozy ambience. All books are alphabetically categorized which makes it convenient for the buyer.
