The new Bookworm is spacious, housing a good collection of books. It is definitely bigger than the older one and has more room for the customers to browse around. As always, the staff is super helpful and the store has been kept clean and in order. There are two parts to the store, the ground and the first floor. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that a cafe space is also in the works which will probably be ready in a couple of months. Will definitely visit again to checkout the cafe next…
This place is like paradise for book lovers. Huge collection of books. Both used and new books. Used books are also in very good condition, looks like new. Enormous collection for kids also. People working there are very polite and their behaviour is very nice. Another unique concept is, one can return books after finishing, by doing that decent discount can be availed in next purchase.
A very good book store. Highly recommended for all book lovers. Staff very knowledgeable and helpful. You can get good discounts on books, surprise pricing on used books and can return books as well.
The best place for book lovers. Its just a maze filled with books. There are millions of options. I was so confused which book to buy n which one not to buy. I spent almost 2 hours in the shop, without even realising it. It was a great experience n would love to visit again. The prices are way too cheap, on an average it starts from 120 itself. Also the best thing being, after reading the book, u can return the books taken from there to them n u get 50% of cash back. U can use that cash back to purchase any other book from the shop. An amazing option!!
The place has been a treasure of books. It has huge collection of all choices and is maintained very well. The street has been heaven for walkers and cyclists. Every time we go there we get lost in the treasure. One can spend hours in the store and discover new and new treasures. Can improve on pricing but I guess challenge to maintain costs
Best place to visit for a book lover or binge reader, affordable range of books, second hand books available. Present in quite corner, its a dream come true for every person who loves to spend time looking around and buying books at a quite place without disturbance.
The new place is really spacious and has a ton of books in an organized manner. The staff there are also very helpful! They aid in looking for specific authors and are well versed with the place.Bookworm has also started a new practice (probably been there before but I heard of it during my latest visit) - if you have read the books you bought from there, and dont really enjoy it, you can bring it back to the store and you get 50% store credit. They only need the bookworm price tag at the back to know its their book. Great initiative to recycle books in case you bought a book you realise is not your cup of tea!
A calm and cozy heaven for readers. Would highly recommend their wonderful collection to my fellow readers.would be great if they can organize according to genre/authors etc.
Very good collection of books here... I almost find everything I wanted... Old or new books... But I found cost to be on the higher side... I would prefer mypustak app for old books... If you re a new book people.. definitely this is the place
This bookstore on Church Street has varieties of books and they have second hand books also. When you buy new books, you can even return it after reading it and you get 50% store credit from which you can buy new books again.The staff is really helpful and suggestive. Having a bookstore on Church street is a blessing.
We were just casually strolling around early morning on a Sunday after a heavy breakfast when we sighted bookworm store. We started off with the array of books stacked up front and moved our way into the store. They are packed with books all around and sometimes squeezing your way thru them, they have some very rare books available at their store. We spent more than an hour at the store and bought ourselves a plethora of books. Definitely a go to place from now on.
A wide range of books are available here and is a must visit place for voracious readers. Alot of second hand books are sold for a huge discounted price and fresh new books are sold at 20% discount as on 28th September 2021.The only problem I found is that different categories of the books are not displayed like Business, Fiction, History, Autobiographies, etc. But the books are not mixed and are arranged in different shelves according to the categories but one should look at the books to identify which category is in that particular shelf.
The staff are amazing here, and prices are comparable to that of other stores nearby such as blossoms. There are dedicated areas for each genres which makes it easier to find a book you like or want to buy.
Love love love here.. So the last I visited here was 2 years ago. It was great to find that the staff here remembered me. Theyre so sweet that they gave me chai while I was sitting and reading a book. They helped me find out all the list of books I asked for and suggested me with a good set of books too. Can return all those read books after purchase that they provide discounts for next purchase.I just love it here. The smell of books only makes me feel like Im in paradise.A wonderful bookstore 👍
Very good store and very good prices and very good staff...this store again makes you buy at least 1 to 2 books before you walk out
The books are curated by the owner and his colleagues themselves with a lot of involvement and care. Theyve got a good collection of rare books as well. Must check out for bibliophiles
Excellent selection of books, both new and used, and enthusiastic service and recommendations. Would prefer this over the *cough* incumbent bookshop nearby.
Its a paradise for book lovers. Now, the Bookworm has shifted to BPL Building in church street. Bigger andspacious with all genres of book with reasonable price.
Way to heaven experience, wonderland Ambience.... I love this place on Brigade road, Bangalore
Located on the Church Street of Bangalore, this is one of the largest book store that I have ever come across.Well stocked with almost all types of books right from reference books to magazines. Second-hand books are also available.As I am interested in books on travel and adventure, I found a good collection there and bought an Outlook traveller getaways- Driving Holidays Across India.A good place for book lovers.
If you slightly love books then this is the place you have to be at. I was amazed when I went here for the first time seeing how much the staff knows about which books is placed where and what all series of the same have been released. If you visit a general book store the staff would hardly know the title your asking for but the staff here was well versed with the books and even capable of suggesting you a couple of titles to buy. They have a lower price than what the book is usually listed at, additionally they also have used books and new release books. Even if you do not like to buy books, you would end of buying at least one of them when you visit this place.
Loved this new place... Full of books and more books! Perfect place to spend the weekend!
Amazing place... Must visit for all book lovers
Bookworm has a very good collection of books and they are in good condition. The interior of the bookstore is clean and staff are helpful. Also if you return your old books they will give a discount which is great.
Excellent collection. Friendly and Knowledgeable staff
Wow nice experience super peaceful nature awesome books ......
It was the one next to Brik- oven, it was a nice visit and the store service in finding required books was helpful! Very friendly.
Such an amazing place to purchase books at a reasonable cost. They have wide collection!!
The right balance one seeks in a bookstore, personal attention to detail, variety, and not much of a crowd.
This place is really for bookworms..Great choice and vast collection across all reading tastes.. a place for all age grp.Very decent price and best part they take back the book for half after reading.Owner interacts well and suggests good authors.
This store is so Good. A must visit place for all Readers and literature enthusiasts. You will find a lot of Material which fits your taste.
I have been to various Book stores but experience at bookworm felt very different . The combination of old very old new and very new booksbpiled up together creates an atmosphere which you generally dont want to leave. Obviously a place for book readers. Wont get disappointed with the collection they have. The staff is also very helpful and friendly in any kind of book search. Plus they always have discounts which makes sense to buy from them.
Extra kudos for spiritual section. This store is so unique. You will get lost in the quiet and the smell of old books. They have everything on earth. Even the rare books. The staff are knowledgeable about the books which is a bonus.
Great place to find good books (new&second hand) for children. Its worth a visit.
Probably the best book shop in town. Lovely folks. Old books are respected. Bought back. And the guys there are usually always helpful.
Great place to find new books as well as some old gems. Make sure to go there with lots of time on your hand as youre more likely to get lost among the vast collection of books from virtually every category. The owner Krishna is an avid reader himself and provides great recommendations on new reads for you. Have been a loyal customer for almost 20 years and still visit everytime Im in Bangalore.
Best book shop Ive ever visited. The shopkeeper knows everything about their books. You can even return books at half price.
Varieties of books, less price, friendly staff, best in bangalore, highly recommend
I want to go again and again!A unique place to scout for used books and fresh ones alikeOne may expect to find books from many languages ranging from European to vernacular languages of IndiaHas books on all subjects like astronomy, physics, music, astrology, all forms of fiction and non fiction.This place also has charts on various subjects and themes in scienceModels making kits which enhances creativity and curiosity among kids
The have many original copies of books, the second-hand book collection is limited. But the collection is still great. If you go here you will feel like just sitting and reading all day!
Have been visiting the place for over twelve years. They have an exhaustive collection of new and used books. Truly a paradise for bookworms. You can spend an entire afternoon roaming through the aisles or sitting in the low stools placed in different corners reading through.Reasonably priced and always a discount of 20% on MRP. The best part is you can exchange books with them once you are done reading for 50% credit which can be used at the store to further shop.
Loved this bookshop. Books piled high throughout a stores high bookshelves. If you love books this is the place for you - books on every subject, second hand and new at great prices... I left with 10 books wondering how I would get them in my suitcase. The only negative is there is no air conditioning in the shop - but there are fans - so sit near the fan and enjoy the atmosphere.
If you looking for the best book shop in MG Road, this is it
Its an okay place to buy books. Theyve a huge collection of books. But honestly I dont think we are looking for those kind of books. Its really a ok ok place for book hunters. You may not find what youre looking for.And btw they also take books back and you may get a good deal if you want to sell your old books. Check it out for yourself!
If you ever wanted to lost in a sea of books, this is where you should be!
Loved the place, absolutely lives up to its name, old editions of books which are no longer being printed are available for cheaper price. You can also exchange your books getting a discount on your next purchase. All booklovers must check this out, its become my go to place for books 📚
Bookworm is by now part of Bangalores cultural legacy. In a world of instant and anxiety-producing information, walk in here to get transported to synthetic worlds created by authors. The friendly and knowledgeable staff will be glad to help. You can browse the collections as though it were a library. In fact, Bookworm has put a shelf closer to the road (Church Street), where you can browse through the latest best-sellers, and walk in only to purchase.Note to management: Please start selling coffee and biscuits. Nothing like browsing while sipping.
The collection is huge!! The employees are ready to help.
Best book shop.All categories of books available with affordable price
Hes got a great range of non fiction, but hes a tad bit discourteous.While that probably shouldnt have any effect on the ratings, Im sure a lot of people go to bookstores for the experience-- not only the books.
This by far is my favourite book store in Bangalore. Every member of the staff and the owner are extremely helpful and know each book/author they have by heart. The variety of genres they cater to is endless. Youll find anything from comics to classics here along with the added bonus of exchanging your old books or books you bought from the store with new/used ones. They have second hand books at great discounted prices and discounts on new books as well. One stop shop for all your reading needs!
Just love the place...the vibe is beautiful here.... collection of old books is just awesome... Can spend the entire day here. The staff is good and the price is fair enough..
Absolutely great place with an extensive collection of books. Most of them are priced well. Plus its around perfect eateries. Makes an amazing afternoon!
Fairly large collection of books. New as well as used. The shop gives you credit if you return books. About 50% which can be used only to buy books. Looks like the classics collection is better than the pulp fiction. Visited couple of times in the last few years. On new titles you get flat 20% on MRP. So, folks, before you buy that nice smelling book at the airport stall, paying full price, drop in and buy here.
Its good place for book readers where as used books are sold at discounted prices.Even customer purchased books are resellable at 50 % price.Good & worth of it
Great book store, old , new , recent arrival all are there, best rates. Loved the collection and friendly behaviour of store manager n staff
This place is for all the book lovers who doesnt like reading books online. They have pretty good collection for all class especially classics and latest trends both.Good thing is you can buy second hand books at 20-70% price and you sell it back to them at 50% of what you paid.*And even you can get second hand book looking as good as new(PFA)
Beautiful experience, lots and lots of books. If you are unsure of what to buy or what to read, ask Mahadir for suggestions. He always suggests good books, its wonderful to read.
The guys are very helpful here and they know their books. You get some real gems here
Very helpful staff. Amazing collection of books
First the location is best, you will feel like you have came to foreign place. Good Crowd. Bookworm have lots of collection. I have purchased 3 books.. ikigai, blue ocean strategy, and unfinished- by priyanka chopra. The person who attended me at store Shridhar ( dont remember name exactly) was also very polite and gentle. Nice place.
Such a wonderful place to buy books.
Lovely collevtion of books.Both new n old.
A great place to buy books. Especially used books. They specialize in novels and have a great collection. New books are also available.
Wonderful place with lots of Books.must visit placeI would appreciate a bit more dust free environment
One of the two big names among book enthusiasts in Bangalore, but it certainly not the #1. It maybe due the comparatively higher price and variety of books than Blossoms which is located a short walk away. But there are a few books that youll only find here, also, the staff here is much more knowledgeable about the books and more cooperative compared to Blossoms.
Good collection , they even have books which are rarely sold elsewhere
I have fallen in love with a place so more... covers both old as well as new books. Moreover you may discover new authors in your favourite genre ... and yes... its a much better experience than buying them online. You can get some really old edition books... making it worth collecting. A must visit for book lovers
This shop has a huge collection of books where a book finds it hard to consume the most of it. Could find the latest to the old versions of my findings.
An amazing place for a book lover. Superb collection, even some rare collection of books and a wide variety of genres.
My favourite place in Bangalore to buy old and new books.
They have a plethora of books to choose from in any genre that you may be in search of. The staff are great, they will not just find you the particular copy of the book you may be looking for but give you a whole lot of suggestions as well. You should visit this place if you read.
Amazing collections. You get everything here. And some books are more than 100 years old.
Bookworm is a lesser known place when compared to blossoms but it is equally good
Love this store. They have a massive collection of books both new and seconds. The bookkeeper knows every book available in their shelves.
Great place for buying books of all kinds on Church Street. Has both new and old books. Fiction used ones at throwaway prices. A great collection and very cordial and helpful staff. You cannot walk out of Bookworm without buying something. A fun place to while time browsing books and being transported to a magical universe.
Had the worst experience here today morning. Havent seen a bookstore manager more rude and arrogant than the guy here. It was around 10 30 AM when I was just browsing shelves here to buy some Indian fiction. Usually I go to the shelves at the back but today I picked up some new book from the front shelves. I usually have a habit of taking a glance at a chapter or two rather than just reading the back cover before buying. I was just flipping through a few pages to understand if this book is for me, this guy walked up to me and asked me to leave the book right there and go to the back shelves instead. He went on to say, This is not a library, it is a bookstore, dont read our books, you are supposed to look only at the backcover. Thats how all other people buy. He conveyed to me that I was ruining his books by opening them. In just the past 2-3 weeks, I have bought 24 books from Bookworm. I am their regular customer. Also, there was no other customer in the store today when I went there since it was early morning and still this guy proceeded to insult and ill-treat the only customer in the store. Will never buy again from here. I visit the place since I like the idea of physical bookstores where you can browse through books and get the real feel. I can easily go to an online store too. Anyone can. And if physical bookstore managers are going to treat their customers with this bad attitude, probably everyone should buy stuff online and these places should shut shop.
One of the oldest bookstores. They have a good kids collection which i go for usually.
Love this place. We can get old and rare books here. I got one published in 1980. Books are stacked on the shelfs and floor. We have to help ourselves to search any book.
Good place,you find all the books you want here
