With sculptures placed at the gate, photographs and minimalist paintings on its walls, this store in Bhawanipur is probably one of the most aesthetically pleasing stores in the city. However, there are better reasons to visit this store than its décor. It sells English translations of European literature which are published by Seagull India. The book covers are lovely collages and montages of photographs, mostly done by in-house designer Sunandini Banerjee.
They have many books about the works of directors like Mrinal Sen and Ghatak, academic works by Gayatri Chakravarty Spivak {who frequents the store and the gallery space across the road}. They have translations of authors like Mo Yan {a Chinese Nobel Prize winner}, Tariq Ali, Picasso, Max Frisch and many others. They also sell some limited edition notebooks which is one of those must-have pieces of stationery anyone would be lucky to have.
