For young girls, there’s Meg Cabot, and the rather baffling American sensation, the High School Musical books.

Sharing space with the children’s section is an exhaustive collection of the classics, spread over 5 shelves, ranging from Erasmus to Lao Tsu. Upstairs is the more predictable lot, with best sellers from India and around the world.

The store also has over 22 Letters to Penthouse books placed discreetly under the popular fiction section.

The bookstore opened early in February and has witnessed a gradual increase in footfall.

“There are about 75-80 people who come in daily but the weekends have been a pleasant surprise with over 200 people dropping in with their children and buying books,” Bahri said.

Since the bookstore is fairly new, Bahri and his efficient staff are keen on building a collection of books by involving their customers.

“We’d like to invite people to tell us what books they’d like us to stock, so that we can cater to this part of town the way we do with our main store in Khan Market,” Bahri said.

With Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit inaugurating the store on Saturday, this is one bookstore that’s become an address.
