I suggest Q8books, the country's only bookstore that carries used books as well.

We need a shake up in the bookstore department. People are tired of the miserable selection of books available in Kuwait. Border's is now open in the Emirates. I hope they're planning to come to Kuwait soon. Kuwait is in dire need of a first class English bookstore. We need a shake up in the bookstore department.

I don't mean those 15 pages issues you find in magazine sections, but the ones that come in trade paperback or hardcover format. Where would one be able to find graphic novels in Kuwait?
