Adieu to another book lover's haunt in Delhi




These were the original "bookshops" - stripped to their bone and marrow - the only wares they had on display were books. There were no add-ons, no trappings.

"Now there is a spurt in bookshops at the malls," said Arora. The crowd of casual turner of pages, more serious about the brand of coffee they could get rather than the repertory of books the mall may have, is thickening.

"Ironically coffee table books are not selling these days. Fiction still continues to be the frontrunner," said Arora.

But he is dropping out of the race on a note that will bring the last cheer to The Bookworm lovers.

There will be a 15-day sale of books at the shop beginning Saturday.
