A bookstore is like a galaxy, holding all the worlds we can’t even imagine, including those just across the globe. If books provide us with access to countless worlds, then bookstores are like universes. When you open a book, you are transported to a parallel world of your choice and you can spend hours absorbing the information therein. We agree with the famous words of Game Of Thrones author George R. R. Martin: “The man who never reads lives only one life.” Let us show you what Mumbai’s best bookstores have to offer, so you can live your own life to the fullest.
