May 18 is the last day the Baha'i Bookshop will be open before the lower level of the Baha'i House of Worship closes until May 2009.

The bookshop is no longer placing orders for books and other products. We encourage you to stop by and pick up the items you want while they are still available.

Baha’i sacred and authoritative texts, prayer books, Ruhi study circle materials, gift items, music, scholarly works and other Baha'i-related items will continue to be available directly from the Baha'i Distribution Service (BDS), which can be reached at 800-999-9019 or on the web at www.bahaibookstore.com.

Also, Baha'i Publishing has 46 book titles available through retail bookstores such as Barnes & Noble and Borders. We encourage you to visit your local bookstore and ask for Baha'i Publishing titles. If the books you want are not on the shelves, the bookstores often can order them.

Baha'i Publishing’s titles include Baha'i Sacred texts such as The Hidden Words, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah, and the Kitab-i-Iqan (The Book of Certitude). Works by Baha'i authors and scholars on philosophy, marriage and family life, psychology and personal transformation also are available. Browse Baha'i Publishing’s inventory at books.bahai.us.

The Baha'i Bookshop staff looks forward to serving you before May 18 and seeing you when we open our doors again in May 2009.
