hey there is this place opposite tot eh legislative assembly called Best Books (above Tip Top dry cleaners)where you get all fab stuff. you can buy the books at reasonable price and on return you get half your money back. loads of good stuff!

hey....thanx a lot smriti......but reasonable i guess means something slightly less than 300 bucks:-)
i was thinking more in terms of 50....u know books used to be enjoyable before they became so costly.......and on top of that ppl here dont seem to have heard of douglas adams or robert heinlein or any guy worth reading for that matter....such a pity for a city trying so hard to get a cosmopolitan image

There\'s also this nice bookstore called M R on M G Road in Abids. It\'s a rather small one on the side of the road opp Cherma\'s, and leads upstairs where there are plenty of second hand books.

One more. On the road from Public Gardens to Nampally station, on the left side, there\'s something just called \"Books Exhibition\". Some good finds there.
