Bookshops in Lahore

One of the things you could do when you are bored is go to the book shops at Liberty. (this is near where the Sri Lankan cricketeers got shot at) Pakistan with the lack of intellectual property rights hang ups, has a ton of illegal books printed. Sure they are on crappy paper but they are CHEAP. Bought the whole Narnia and Harry Potter series. Each book was 30 rupees. That's 40 cents. Tons of thrashy novels , yes locals here are same as all over the world, they love the Grisham crap. Can't find what you are looking for? Ask the guy at the counter. You'd be surprised as to his knowledge. Really.

But no, sorry, no faux comics. And no manga. At all. Can't have everything I suppose.
