On my last visit to Bangalore one
of my dear friends took me to the Blossom Book House. I had heard a lot about
this Mecca of new and used books. Naturally, I was thrilled to get an
opportunity to go there.
Books, Blossom and Bangalore
The store was created in 2001 by
Mayi Gowda, a former engineer. It is located on Church Street in Bangalore. Starting
with an area of just 200 sq. ft. the bookstore has expanded to a three storey
building that currently measures 3500 sq. ft.
The selection of new titles at
Blossom is very impressive. But what fascinated me the most is their enormous
collection of used books. To my delight I found many of the used books in very good
condition.
Blossom has alleys of books arranged
on the basis of various genres and each alley opens a new world of excitement
for the booklovers. It is sheer joy for any booklover to browse through such a
huge assortment of books and it was no different for me. I spent a marvelous couple of hours browsing through the amazing array of books.
To end on a happy note, Blossom
offers amazing discount on the used books. So next time when you are in
Bangalore, do not forget to step into the wonder world of Blossom and browse
through their fabulous collection!!
