Readings is an excellent source of affordable-price literature in a country where it is difficult to find good material on literature. They provide novels and books on vast range of genres and for each age group.Staff is highly-professional and corporative, books are well-arranged and easily accessible. This store also provides a quite place to sit and read while having tea or coffee.Store has enough parking space for cars and bikes.#bookstore

The country we’re living in, unfortunately loosing the magic of reading. Now people start walking away from the incredible habit of reading,and buying books.That’s a core reason, why it’s so hard to find good places for the books to purchase and look after.This place, readings count in one of few great things Lahore has now a days.They’ve great variety of genres, with thousand of titles and the best thing about the store is... easy to access website and on demand book process.There’s dozens of titles, which I get through this store, through on demand policy, and they provide it perfectly.My most favorite and amazing place to visit even on daily basis, or far to go then weekend.But the addition which enhance the worth of the place is, private tea-coffee shop inside the store.What’s good then, enjoying the favorite coffee while reading book? Perfect.A small problem: the staff sometimes act like they’re doing Ahsan (favor) on guiding the customers, the attitude sometimes slips otherwise best place.

I was looking for a book and called a number of book shops. The best response I got was from Readings. In a few seconds the contact person Mr. Noman told me that the book was available. He promptly took the order. On my request he sent me the picture of the book by whatsapp along with the order number. I received the book in less than 48 hours by Leopards, paying cash on delivery. The whole process was very customer friendly indeed. I congratulate Readings for their excellent customer service. My best wishes and prayers for you Readings. Thank you very much.

Arguably one of the best places in Lahore to buy books. The only shortcoming is that they have a very limited stock of Urdu books.

Cant thank the owners of this most incredible book library and store. The most unique thing about this place is generousity of the owner to allow readers to come and enjoy reading the books without having to buy them. It houses a small tea area as well. If you love a peaceful space that lets you read books and have tea as well, this is your place.

This is very good platform where you have bought almost all sorts of books of your choice. The quality is excellent. You can request books of your taste if it is not available on the website or readings shops and the readings team take every possible steps to arrange it for you. I have been using this platform online for more than two years and I am happy with their services.

This place has the warmth of a small, independent corner book store but has a deceptively (in the best way possible) large collection of books. Staff in the bookstore is very obliging and knowledgable. The website is surprisingly very streamlined sans the usual technical issues in websites here. The book delivery service is highly convenient and always prompt.

Review №48

Being the only bookshop of its scale in town there isnt much to compare it with. They often have a sale running on used books while new titles are displayed on the glass windows and standees. I cannot mostly find the books that I am after but the place offers a niche for the book lovers. Nicely lit and air-conditioned, there is a coffee shop there as well which gives this place an air of a library. Quite confusing but thats what it is.

Readings is one of the best books stores in Lahore with an attached small tea/coffee shop. Most of their books are imported and in English; however they also do have a section of local writers and Urdu books beside popular international and national periodicals. One can also find few old books there on low price. Their children section is the most popular section. One can find the children books and the activities stuff for the children of all ages. For me the most fascinating thing about them is their readers friendly environment and their flour cushions. Occasionally I have also seen the renowned writers in the shop.

Review №51

A safe haven for book lovers. All books are categorized into shelves so it is very easy to browse books via their genre. They can request shipment for the books you want to order as well. Small floor coushions and chairs are also places for those who want to check out the books peacefully. Generally very quiet and peaceful environment.

Been a CUSTOMER here for a long LONG time.. readings is the BESTIESTEST Bookstore Ive ever visited in my life.. nice and comfy place where READING books is allowed (without buying them) for as long as you want... theres even a COFFEE SHOP attached to the store.. all books are sold in REASONABLE PRICES compared to all other bookstores in pakistan... ONLY DOWNER is the fact that READINGS doesnt restock TITLES efficientlyand many books can only be availed after a special request...

Good place to find books of modern English literature and latest writers. Lacks in collection of urdu literature comparatively. Has its own parking that is a big plus. Very accessible place. In a nation of non readers, its a rare person to open such an establishment. Will visit again once I have finished the books I purchased recently.

The day I visited this place, it was quite messy. There was no one to attend us while one of the attendant was racking books. They have labeled the racks but it is difficult for the first-timer to easily find the required section. We searched for the kids activity books, and it wasnt easy to look for it. The new and old books were mixed so couldnt find the one I was looking for. They have a good car parking capacity and management too.

Readings is one of the best book stores in Lahore. It has a decent collection of books of all sorts. You will get some great discounts on children books most of the times. It has a small cafe as well which gives you a relaxed environment to study while enjoying a cup of coffee. Staff is helpful and courteous.It is usually open till 11 and is also open on Sundays.

Review №87

Readings started off as a place offering great and lesser known books at fantastic prices, and has now grown into a place with well known books at high prices.Readings has changed their business model and become like any other bookshop, offering roughly the same books (except low priced discarded fiction books).Theres no fishing there for an amazing find.

Readings is a very good book shop in town. It not only provides you a large collection of book from the globe, but also provides you an environment where one can read. They ve placed cushions in every line against book racks, so one can sit on them and read books easily. Remember this facility is free until you buy something. They dont charge for reading. Recently they re offering 50, 70 & 90% off on certain collection of books for every age. I bought couple of original Marvel books (for my kids) on very reasonable discount. In my point of view, their Urdu sections needs to be improved. There is not much when it comes to Urdu section and it literally has very few books for kids in Urdu section. I mean there is almost 0 collection in Urdu for kids when it compared to the English collection available for kids. Still Readings is one of its kind book store available in town and I really appericiate what they re doing to keep the people stay connected with books in this age of technology when everyone is really shifting towards e-reading. I am used to of going there along my kids and my son really loves the comic section of the store.
