A used book sale on Sunday every week? Here, hold my wallet.
That's me since 2 months, buying nearly 15 books at less than a dollar each. I'm so happy. All I need now is more money to buy a book shelf that covers the entire wall so that I can finally sit and stare at all the books at the same time instead of looking at piles of them in every room :(

Adding books to the cart all day long only to find that some of the books have already been sold is so damn frustrating, ever happen to you? :D
Lol, you don't have to worry about that. I won't mess with your books :P I just browse through the site sometimes, but I haven't actually ordered anything from there. Instead of that, I hunt books real-time! I'm now in Delhi and we have our own Sunday book market here. I buy books from there for 100-200 rs/kg.
I actually bought Andromeda strain for 17 rs (170 grams!) and Life of Pi hardcover edition for 60 rs. So I'm cool!
holy shit, that's wonderful! A few weeks ago I went to a similar shop in Hyderabad but they weren't doing the per Kg sale that week. :/ And I think there is one other shop in all of hyd, will visit it soon. How many books weigh 1kg roughly, in your experience? :D
It's not just wonderful, It's a miracle. The hardcover editions they are selling are mostly untouched. I mean, the raw material for printing the book alone should cost more than its selling price here!I usually buy around 8 paperbacks for 300 rs and 3-5 hardcover for the same price!
Find the store in Hyderabad and never let it go! :P
I've been wanting to find such a store exactly for buying hardcovers, I've very few of them. I agree that it is a miracle! :D ;)
