Always a delight to visit this bookworm heaven. Visited it for the first time after Covid. Not much has changed. Prices are reasonable. Staff are as helpful as they were before and the book collection is good. A slight change is the number of new/lightly used books are comparatively high. All the old books which used to be bargain buys are behind the layers of these newish books. So you need to dig through to find the book that you want.

Just so awesome. A must visit place for book lovers to find a wide variety of books. The best part is that you can exchange old books and they offer only genuine books. The staff are passionate and extremely professional.You can come across old and rare books which may not even be available commercially. The place is also one to be in the goto places for students and researchers.

One of the best book house you can find in Church Street. You will find all kinds of books from wide range of authors. You can even ask them if you need any particular book they can arrange it for you. You will find second hand books here for good prices. Must visit if youre going to start your reading journey or if youre a book lover

My favorite book shop in Bangalore. You can get new books as well as used old books at favorable price. I bet you can never find a book shop with as much as books provided by Blossom. There are 3 floors and all the floors are filled with books. The shop is easily accessible as it situated in MG road. The staff is really friendly and they will assist you to select books according to your choice.

A great book shop to be in.My favourite store.I like that they buy back books when you return them and that reduces the stacking at home.The value they pay is fair.The people at the store are super cooperative, if u dont find a book ask them and they personally find it for you.Some of the rare books are available here.Do visit enjoy it and also give me a feedback about my review.Thanks and happy reading.

THEY HAVE MANGAS!!! As someone who loves anime, its very difficult to find Mangas, apart from the extremely satisfying aesthetic, blossoms also manages to cater to the tastes of a variety of individuals!

Reviewing a close to an heritage institution, is very difficult. But I have to be honest.It is highly likely you will find whatever book that you are looking for here. Be it niche high fantasy or metaphysics. But the major issue I found out was the fact that you wont be able to find them on your own.There is no clear organization for the books that are stacked. I tried to figure out but couldnt. The staff are more than helpful, but when youre at a book store, you want to explore on your own.Having been to the Shakespeare book company at Paris and other such illustrious book stores like blossoms, the small difference is that they have a recognisable stacking/organization system for their books.Apart from that, it is a brilliant place where I was lost for hours together.

A must visit when you are passing by church street. You invariably end up buying a book or two.They have an amazing collection and the staff has really good knowledge to recommend as well. As they have mostly second hand books (usually in good condition), the price are very competitive as well.

The book house have both new and refurbished books. All the books are well arranged in different shelves. But from the price point, its a bit expensive. So, go there if you dont know the name of a book or just want explore new genres and get surprised. Otherwise, order them online of you know the book name, bestsellars, or check the price on Amazon before buying

Review №36

This is a favourite of Bangaloreans going by the number of shoppers here any time. At the ground floor they stock new books and magazines. On the first and third floors they have used books of all kinds including fiction, management, childrens, classics and more. The books are arranged in slotted angle racks and in all possible spaces including stairwells and landings. Staff at the store do help find books but are t very efficient. Blossoms main attraction is the chance of finding of used book cheaper than new one.

Heaven for bookworms. If you like to read and havent been there already, what are you doing?They have a great new and secondhand book collection. They also have vintage magazines, vinyl records, poster, and postcards drawn by local artists. They have two stores on church street, one old and the other shop is newer. Both are worth visiting.

Situated on Church Street this is a paradise for bookworms. It offers a great diversity of books up for grabs for the readers. It has 4 separate floors to cater the needs of the readers. Each section is dedicated to a specific genre so hunting for your choice of genre is easy. They have books for all types of readers- thrillers, romantic, mystery, Science, philosophy, comics , classics and the list goes on. Bibliophiles love this place for getting the best price on the books they are interested in. The books are always sold at a discounted price. They also have an exchange policy and they offer a pretty moderately good price for your old books. They also sell bookmarks and posters which collectors can buy and decorate their rooms. The books are stacked compactly so watch out :) The comics section is pretty good as it stacks all the famous comics I have heard of but the volumes are not organised properly so you may have some trouble searching them but its worth the fun :). Claustrophobic people will have a little tough luck because of the closely organised books.

Book lovers not having visited this place is just “criminal” !! It is one of my top 5 fav places in the city👉No, this is not an eatery or a mall or a pub or a knick-knack store but a BOOKSTORE. It has a huge collection of second-hand books & also new books ranging on wide variety of topics for all ages. Are you looking for any specific book but can’t find it on Amazon or bookshops then am sure Blossom Book House will have that book for you ! Bookophilliacs,you can’t miss this one🙂

Awesome place with really affordable books. Would not recommend driving or riding down. Parking is a nightmare on this road. The place has 4 floors, the books are arranged in a haphazard manner and makes it difficult to view all the titles and the Walk way to each floor is quite tough as well. Cost is lower and makes it effective by picking up additional books. The collection varies from fiction, non fiction, comics etc.. definitely worth a visit.

Its undoubtedly the best book store in Banglore. They have two stores very near to each other, the old one and the new, bigger one. Both have an extremely large collection of new and old books. The prices are very less when compared with other book stalls. Its a heaven for any book lover. They have a large collection of second hand books. Some of the books ar found no where else, even online. The books are arranged in a very organized manner, but they can make it better. There are hundreds of books on every category. They also have a large collection of the latest best sellers . The staffs are also friendly and will help us find the book you are looking for.

Its a very good stop for books.. it has 2 outlets in the same Street.. but beware whom you are dealing with in the counter.. bought a book recently which was old (approx 7 yr old edition and print) and had huge oil marks across multiple pages including cover. One person at the counter said it will still be sold on MRP. But later another person at same counter considered the condition of the script and applied suitable price.

If you are a bibliophile who like to gaze at books on top of endless shelves then this one is the utopian dream for you.The best think about this is the store credit is gives when you return the books you bought from here.Doing the economics you get the books at 40% of the MRP.you can find most of bestseller and the books you see on your to read list.

When you think of home in a stranger city, what comes to your mind? To mine, it is always Blossoms. The old building is stacked to the goddamn roof with books - all genres, varieties. The folks running this place are extremely kind, friendly people. Talk to the owner, youd know why I am saying so.Every Saturday from 4-6 pm, a bunch of typewriter poets, illustrators, painters, photographers sit on its stairs and busk, write for strangers. The whole environment of the bookstore, and the artists on the stairs is the aesthetic that gives you life after a dreary week.Blossoms is where life comes to blossom, and if you havent visited this, booklover or not, you are missing out on a major part of Bangalores culture.
