The largest bookstore in Islamabad with almost all of latest published books in US and UK available here. Sections are well laid out with Fiction, international best-sellers and non-fiction easily available.There is a separate section for kids books and stationary.The staff however, especially at the check out counter is need for a major customer centric training including the owner. They are least interested in customers and would rather prefer no one visited the store. Its a pity that the residents of twin cities dont have too many options.

Recent trip to Islamabad could not have been xomplete without a visit to Saeed Book Bank. Largest book store in Islamabad with multiple floors to satisfy a book lovers curiosity. The staff is not as well trained as Mr Books no question but when you are in Book Paradise thats not really an issue. They get the job done and thats more than enough.Some serious titles that you probably wont find anywhere or wont be easy to find anywhere are available. I wish they can listen to me and open a reading/coffee lounge somewhere in that buildingThank you

Probably the best bookstore in Islamabad catering for everything from Medicine, Engineering, Finance and Childrens books. Impressive three floors. Both English and Urdu but mainly English. Reasonable prices compared to Europe as most books are reprints of Originals from India so prices are in Ind Rupees. Dont think youll find any other book store where you can spend a few hours. Youll come out with a headache but worth it...

This is a massive store with a huge collection of books from around the globe. I would have been more impressed if books from Pashto language were also stocked.I believe the books are a little overpriced but what do I know I am only a visitor to the country maybe all books are expensive in Islamabad.Overall a great visit and very friendly staff ready to help

Expensive , although they have a vast collection of books in each genre but they wont give you any sort of discount on quoted price like you get in urdu bazar.They would sell u a book for 1000 rupees which u couls easily buy for 300 from other sources.I bought Good habits bad habits for 2065 rupees, and yet its not even giving me original vibes , looks pirated.First of all unseal all books , one cant read whole book standing there if that is what u r afraid of.Also make some room for in_shop reading as well.However kudos to their excellent environment , segregation of each genre & supportive staff.

Good collection of books and stationary for adults and children alike. Definitely worth visiting. The only thing I recommend is for prices to be listed on the items themselves to save customers from having to repeatedly ask a member of staff.

It was a great book shop which had almost all kinds of books. There is also manga including Naruto,one punch man, Tokyo ghoul, even boku no hero academia but most of them did not have the first volumes. I bought death note volume 2 and 3.

You can find almost every book. They provide free home delivery in Islamabad. Being a student its hard for me to go visit book shop and get the books but Saeed Book Bank have really made it easy for me. I get books from them every semester. Books are new and good paperback format rather than cheap paper used by local publishers.Recommended to everyone of you want any book.

Review №33

Saeed Book Bank is undoubtedly one of the best bookstores in Pakistan. They are the ones who are trying their best to keep alive the dying culture of book reading in Pakistan. But more recently Ive noticed that their collection has gone a little outdated. Im a lot into self-help books. Out of 10 inquiries I made, only 3 books were available. These 10 inquiries were of pretty well-established books of famous writers. That was my honest feedback. If anyone from their admin happens to come across my review, I request them to please take the necessary steps to rectify the issue.

This is the best place in Islamabad! Ive been coming here since almost 17 years now. First it was for textbooks and school syllabus books, then fiction reading and then it was basically a solution to every problem Ive ever had. When Im happy, I come here, when Im sad or depressed I come here. I think Id like to get my wedding photo shoot done here too.

Review №48

Fantastic and huge book store in Islamabad jinnah super. Massive selection and a great stop for any book loverLots of stationary as well. Found it a bit pricey but Im expecting theyre not selling fake and pirated books like others on the thelas in jinnah supermarket. Good quality books . The only challenge perhaps is curating them and having the top seller send recommended ones set aside. This place almost seems like a library onto itself. Definitely a good stop for book lovers.

Review №49

Best place for those few enthusiasts who still read books. A huge selection available. There are so many that the aisles seem congested. They can arrange books for you also if they dont have them.All imported book prices are in US Dollars, Pound Sterling and the days conversion rate is displayed at the payment counter. The conversion is really killing but then if you love reading good books, you have to pay good money.

If we just talk about beauty then this book bank is the most beautiful book store I have ever visited. Once you enter you want to see each and every row. Books there are so awesome. Local and international, all books are available there. They are high quality books but if you are looking for some reasonable prices then this place is not for you. Books there are so expensive. And I personally prefer other book stores with some reasonable prices.

Its a great place and its been established as Islamabads literary centre for what seems like forever. Theyve got stationery, and labelled sections for different genres of books and you can find just about anything in here, fiction or non fiction.Theyve got all their books logged into a computer data base so if youre having trouble going through the shelves you can just type your author or title in to get easy access to whatever youre looking for.

Review №79

This is a wonderful wonderful place. They have everything and they do their best to encourage loyalty with their discounts on the next book thing. They have a really great selection and you can check what they have and don’t have. The could stock nicer looking bookmarks though.I wish though it was cheaper for them to order books on demand; they could honestly do a bunch of orders together and then bring their costs down (although I really don’t know the logistics of this).I would also love if they just had a point system like most brand have. Less paper to waste and also it’s just nicer and smoother and looks like we’re in this century.I do get the vibe though that some books are pirated or at least very low quality and since they’re sold at the same price as new original books it’s kind of annoying. I think they need to work on this; if I’m coming there for original books then make sure I don’t have to be vigilant.Either way, this is where most of my salary goes.
