Greeting all,

I came across this on-line book store that specializes in Arabic books
and I thought it might be of interest to others. The bookstore can be
reached at: http://www.neelwafurat.com/ and it is based in Lebanon.  The
web site is in Arabic and it requires a web browser with CP-1256
support.

Here is an excerpt from their web site that describes it (it is not
Amazon.com but it is a step):

Arabization & Software Center* introduces the first
              commercial Arabic library on the internet (Nile &
              Euphrates www.neelwafurat.com) containing more than
              50,000 books encompassing all subjects with discounts up
              to 30%. This service provides the capability to search in
              Arabic either directly for the book through its title,
author,
              keywords or by browsing through the books under a
              specific category. The site also offers an image for each
              bookcover with informtion on its author, publisher, size,
              cover type, publishing date, price, discount, and an
              accompanied summary. Purchases can be made through
              credit card or bank transfer -noting that all information
is
              encoded through SSL a security precaution that prevents
              anyone from reading data except the person entitled to-
              then books are send either by fast courier or registered
              mail to any place in the world.
