Pick Up Your Fave Reads

The collection of books this place has to offer can defo give the fancy bookstores a run for their money. They stock all the popular authors with the likes of J.K. Rowling, Dan Brown, Salman Rushdie and Shashi Tharoor and many more along with some modern-day classic novels like Da Vinci Code and Sherlock Holmes. Their epic collection makes this a worthwhile place to be at. The possibility of finding lesser-known authors here is low though but it’s defo worth a try!

Shrouded In Obscurity

Alright, so locating this shop can be a bit tricky for it’s situated inside a clothing store and can be very easily missed, so you gotta keep those eyes peeled. A book store in the middle of the Janpath Market which is predominantly known for handicrafts, clothes, shoes and accessories is definitely hard to imagine. The owner says that the name of the place also makes it difficult to find as very few people know it by its real name. The name they use is Subhash Book Store which is not the registered one.

But we know, no matter how tough it is to find it, all you bookworms must be compiling your to-read list already for this gem of a place is too mind-blowing to be missed out on, right? So, take your entire squad and head over to bag all the books you’ve ever dreamt of!
