By Kabeer Yousuf — MUSCAT: Feb. 28 - You can gift a book to your loved ones from the ongoing Muscat International Book Fair at Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre and Oman Post will deliver it “free of cost”. Thanks to a new initiative from Oman Post, books bought at the festival and weighing up to 3 kg will be delivered free of cost in any part of the Sultanate. If the weight exceeds the ceiling, a nominal sum of 700 baisa will be charged and so on. “We are providing free service to book lovers who want to gift books to their loved ones,” said Yahya al Ghanami, Head of public relations, media and publishing at Oman Post. While the service is an “effort to support the book festival”, it is part of our “corporate social responsibility to encourage the reading habit” among the public”, he said. The collection of books for despatch will be open from 10 am. It takes a minimum 24 hours to a maximum of three days to deliver books to the addressee.
