Pre-Loved Books Start At Just INR 50 At This Tiny Hauz Khas Shop

Arora Book Stall in Hauz Khas Market is truly a hidden gem. It’s only once you step inside do you realise it’s a like a mini library in the middle of a market dominated by grocery stores.

It’s not difficult to locate Arora. It’s marked by a huge spread of magazines lying on a table outside and another table with a selection of popular novels. But it’s not till you’ve stepped inside that you know what this tiny shop is all about.

Filled to the brim with books of all kinds, it’s bound to excite the book worm inside you {you’ll have to stop it from wriggling out and settling down here for life!}. Run by a friendly uncle, you’re assured of a more-than-fair price for the books you select. What’s more, he lets you return these once you’re done reading and gives you a further discount on what you pick up next!

You’ll find everything from a Nancy Drew to a Mills & Boons to Dan Brown, Jeffrey Archer, Danielle Steele and Amitav Ghosh here. Along with some undiscovered authors too.

The price of the books depend on the condition they’re in and their general ratings. But most of them are priced between INR 50 to INR 150. A steal, we say!
