The CAP Bookshop which carries publishers like Taschen, Assouline, and Thames & Hudson is now online. Sadly though, the process of ordering a book isn’t as simple as adding it to your cart since the website just lists all the books they have and their prices, but to order a book you need to send them a DM on instagram.
Still, if you’re looking for an Architecture, Art, Design, or Fashion book you’d be hard-pressed to find a better collection anywhere else in Kuwait. Here is the link to their online store, and their Instagram is @capbookshop
You could of course just visit the store now that they’ve reopened, they’re located inside Life Center in Shuwaikh, upstairs next to CAP.

Isn’t Life Center going through renovation? I’ve passed by it a few days ago and saw that the main entrance (as well as the cafe outside) were being torn down.
Yes they are, they’ve finished renovating the interior and now Eureka left so that whole area is under construction. But the center opened yesterday (I was there for work) and the bookshop upstairs is open and packed with books.
Now that is really cool, architecture and interior decor was my dream but my fam had me do economics which is shitty. The design of the shop is really sleek too, like a bookstore i went to in Chelsea. I wish i could buy these books but i cant deal with the possibility of corona which is annoying
Thanks Mark for the information, I saw some books on their site I am interested in,…….first I just have to donate the box of books I cleaned out during quarantine. Maybe I should just go stand in that long queue at Ikea – the one in your previous post that looked like an entrance line to a hot LA nightclub – and look for another book shelf!!
