Buy and sell pre loved books! Bookends is an online book store and marketplace for used books in the UAE with a wide collection to cater all genre, language and ages.

The holy month of fasting has arrived! Ramadan is the month of abstinence from worldly pleasures and the month of pure intentions. Ramadan brings along the spirit of festive joy, and with Bookends you can double the joy of reading by buying a pre-loved book from our portal and gifting it to your loved ones this Ramadan. Why are books the best festive gifts? Reading books is a time consuming process and it is during this process that the person shall be benefiting from your gift. As a gift, books take longer to be appreciated owing to the length of time they take to read, hence having a naturally occurring long lasting impact. Since we live in a world that’s majorly materialistic, giving out books is a small token and gesture of love and appreciation. Books can mean a thousand things to the reader, and giving them to someone in the spirit of Ramadan will fill that person with multiple possibilities and forms of enjoyment. Bookends is a portal dealing in buying and selling of pre-loved books, and a lot of our proceeds go to charitable trusts hence increasing the joy of reading and giving to the society altogether.
