A very Indian bookshop. I love this place and would visit most weekends. The staff are very helpful and the range of books is pretty amazing. You'll also get an idea what Indians like to read here. The books are cheap and the top floor does all kinds of stationery.

Second-hand bookshop, very well-stocked and well-ordered; books are in good condition and very reasonbly priced. And they actually know what they stock so can ask for a title and they will know if they have it and where it is located. Or you may just browse.

Plus point, you can then go out and peruse your finds over a great (cheap!!) cup of coffee at the nearby Indian Cofee House.

Think of a bookshop in a shopping mall and you expect a lot of glossy coffee table books and best sellers. You would be wrong, because this is a very serious, large, well-stocked bookshop in every subject (2 floors) and you can spend hours browsing.
If you are amazed by the number of people browsing everything from cookery to music, be prepared for the check-out. There are nine tills, and from the crowd it looks like they are giving books away. Be patient and enjoy the fact that you are in crowd of people who don't mind waiting for 20 minutes to pay for books! It's not to say the bookshop is inefficient, it's just the number of people it attracts.
