I went to this bookstore last week, after reading the comments here I was very hesitant to do so!!! The "rude" owner is no longer there, his partner is the one I met. Hes a very kind man, very educated and very easy going to deal with...hes under a lot of pressure to sell his awesome bookstore and replace it by a shawarma and falafel resturant !!!! I recommend everyone to go and check this bookstore and if you like reading like I do, you will have a beautiful experience everytime you walk through the diverse collection of books. المكتبة فيها تشكيلة رائعة من الكتب، وصاحبها العم "أبو محمد" من أطيب ما يكون، قارئ ممتاز والحوار معه خلال انتقاء الكتب من أروع ما يمكن...القراءة عنده مشروع وهواية أكثر من مجرد عمل و أرباح...أنصح الجميع بدعم هالمشروع للجالية العربية، عندنا كتير مطاعم ومقاهي أرجيلة بديترويت، يجب عالأقل أن يكون عندنا مكتبة واحدة للقراءة والمطالعة

I went to this bookstore to shop for several Arabic books. The store has lots of book stock, not very organized, and many books arent maintained on shelves well (dust, yellow covers, etc). The real problem is the shop owner. An old fat man who talks to you like garbage. I asked him to show me where certain books are and he wont even get off his chair!! Hell bug you every 5 minutes by asking you "so nothing you like yet?" - kind of offensive. I finally told him that I cant find books easily, so he asked me to go to a nearby bookstore "if I like" since theyre more organized! He actually told me that people buy from him $1000 worth of books at a time and that hes not interested in someone who buys $10-15 worth. I wanted to buy a $20 overpriced book (available on internet for $15) and asked for a promotional discount as a first time customer, for which he declined. I politely told him that Ill come back later, so he responded "go and dont come back again!". I didnt think I would. This kind of business (book selling) is really aimed to the educated segment of society. My advice for Middle eastern book store: if you need to make business, you need to study customer service and stop acting like a child whos trying to protect his toys from other kids. Also, learning some manners will help. I do NOT recommend this business to anyone unless youre ready to deal with rude customer service. Save your dignity by shopping online!

مكتبة ضخمة وشاملة ولكن الشخص الذي يديرها يتعامل مع زبائنه وكأنهم لصوص ويرقبهم بنظرات حادة ويتكلم معهم بلغة اسعلائية واذا لم تشتر منه كتابا خلال عشر دقائق فقد يضطر الى طردك من المكتبة بعذر انه يريد ان يصلي او يفعل شيء ما ولكن الحقيقة انه يتعب من مراقبتك انصح صاحب المكتبة ان يتقاعد ويريح زبائنه من عقده ويوظف عاملا يعرف كيف يتعامل مع الناس وان يأخذ بنظر الاعتبار ان زبائن المكتبات هم الطبقة المثقفة من المجتمع واذا اصر على مواصلة العمل فانصحه باستبدال المكتبة بدكان لبيع مستلزمات الكاوبوي او يفتح فلي ماركت لبيع السكراب

I know many of the reviews are negative. Maybe its a new owner or the owner changed his ways. But the shopkeeper was extremely kind and even gifted an extra book because I purchased multiple books. Dont let these reviews scare you, go and make a judgment for yourself.
