I can only imagine the feeling of visiting this bookshop. Hopefully these books will find a good home.

I just went to Chruch street in Bengaluru which is full of bookshops like this (obviously not at this scale). Bookworm (a new gem I found) and all 3 Blossoms bookstore (famous in Bengaluru) shops is what I covered on my recent visit. Morning 11:30 till evening ~6:30 buying 19 books. And happy to report that it was really crowded as well.

I remember being a young boy spending summers with my grandmother who lived on Church Street. I used to spend whole days in those book shops, good to know they are still a major part of the neighborhood.

It definitely is. This was my first visit after 7 years. Cos I only recently moved back to BLR.

And I do remember a time where there was a dip in visitors on weekends (Or maybe I felt?). But that has definitely changed.

Kind of annoying as well with way too crowded blossoms. Good problems to have. :)
