I've been always wondering why we don't have a cafe-bookstore.
I've discussed this issue with my father. The conclusion is that the problem is the locals -Qataris- themselves. Reading is not a habit for a lot of them, so opening a cafe-bookstore here doesn't seem so beneficial.. at least to cover its costs. So it is up to you and the few Qataris who appreciate reading.
If you are serious, and if you managed to gather a good number of supporters, we can do something like this:
1- Choose a coffee shop that the majority of you are satisfied with, you can make a vote or anything similar.
2- Send them a suggestion letter to have a partnership with some well known publishers to start a cafe-bookstore project.
3- Most important, include with the suggestion the signature of all the supporters. We need a good number with some well-known names.
This is the least thing we can do, and I don't think we're going to lose anything if we didn't succeed :) .
