The floating bookstore is back in Philippine shores. Back in 2009, it’s MV Doulos, the world’s oldest, active sea-faring passenger ship. We were able to visit MV Doulos’ in 2009, in the last voyage in the country as it retired in 2010.
The floating fair is now housed in MV Logos Hope. It’s a bigger and a brighter ship. For those interested to buy quality books at affordable prices.

The floating bookstore is owned by Christian charity organization Good Book for All (GBA) Ships and is run by a volunteer crew. It has more than 5,000 titles, covering a wide range of topics.
The ship has been sailing from port to port since 2009 in its mission of “bringing knowledge, help and hope to the people of the world.” and has traveled across 160 countries and made a stop in Cebu last January.
