Thanks Girish for info...

Anbu (anbutheone) | 4469 comments I think HS18 and India Plaza both have same rates for almost all the books.. The service of Indiaplaza is better so far.. All the books I'd ordered through it have been sent on-time..

Avisek Bandyopadhyay | 383 comments Sentiments about flipkart are exactly the same as Anirban..Frigin faggots !

I thought of trying Bookadda..But then, I was not so sure...Girish, you say their delivery and service are commendable ?


message 305: by Girish (new)

Girish Pai | 29 comments They are ok .delivery is late as their regular courier do not cater to my location and I get my books through speed post. Some books are cheaper compared to hs 18 . I compare prices on both sites before making the decision.

Landmark is too...mostly crowded!! And no AmazingAwesomeGripping books that I could find...
Reliance...best for series like Goosebumps :)

Arjun (arjunmc) I usually buy books from the bookstore Current Books. But recently I found an online site...www.buybooksindia.com. I had ordered 'Narcopolis' which costed rs.499 and after discount i got it for rs.339(that's a better discount than flipkart could provide!).

message 327: by Mitali (new)

Mitali yup i ordered 4 books from homeshop18 a few days back (life is what you make it, she broke up with me..., you were my crush, the missed cal) for approx 200 rs

and also i went to the 'BO0OKS BY WEIGHT' fair at churchgate and got 11 good quality books, novels (two are hardbacks) for only 300 rs!! best bargain ever! they were selling books by weight. 1 kg of books for 100 bucks. so they were cheap, pre-loved (second hand) but all original prints. no duplicate copies :)

Deepankar Joshi (deepankar_joshi) | 1 comments Bahri and Sons in Delhi
Strand in Mumbai
minoo and Dinshaws in Lucknow
Landmarks in Bangalore
and bookstores in abids in hyderabad
and nowdays kindle store is also good as it offers a lot of books which are not avlbl here in india otherwise i think Flipkart offers the best service even though there might be cheaper websites out there.........

Anbu (anbutheone) | 4469 comments There is a discount sale in Landmark Bangalore (Not sure about other cities).. This weekend I visited there and there are a plenty of books with 70% discount..
Also there are lots of books under 3 for 2 offer.. And they gave some promotional offer discount of some Rs.130 on my bill of 750.. :)

If you are planning to buy any book I guess you can plan a visit to landmark this week.. :)

Anirudh Flipkart. Cash on delivery, free home shipping above 300 and a vast collection of books. No need to go all the way across town to the book shop anymore.

Flipkart has more books than the book shops in my town!

Kali Srikanth | 24 comments There is a site called thisyathat.com where you can compare different sellers' prices of the book you want to buy (works only in Inida), after checking who is providing me the particular book for least amount, I would order from them online. :-)
