Books were arranged into various sections ie Fiction, Non Fictionals, Travels, Food, Children. Due to which its easy to find Books. But there is few seats are there, we have to stand for reading books. Surrounding is good and staff is also helpful. Whenever u feel bore then Crossword is best option😍

Review №14

A spacious bookstore located in Dadar West, close to the seashore. It has literally all genres of books and the staff was very informative and helpful. Avid readers.... this ought to be your second home!!!!

Review №15

I feel sad that they arent reinventing. Every time I call them for a title and they dont have it. They should look at something, tying up with someone who could source it for them. But I am sure they have all the popular titles. Its a great place to take a stroll though. Bookstores are therapeutic.

Di
Review №16

This place sucks. they don’t let people read! whats the meaning to a library if you’re not allowed to read?! plus the people that work here don’t know anything about books as well. worst place.

Review №17

Strategically located..at initial view, i presumed that it has limited stock on the ground floor, but with proper assistance of the staff, they led to 1st floor which houses their bigger collection...

Review №20

Theyve a wide range of books. The atmosphere is amazing. The books are well sorted and always in place. But the staff is rude and always keeps bugging you while you go through the book stacks. Theyve a small, reading area where you can read for as long as you want but its alongside the staircase so very disturbing if you want to sit and read. And did i mention that the staff is pathetic?

Sa
Review №21

The Best Library I have visited in my life so far. We find there a variety of books to read. The books are based on topics such as Autobiographies, story books, Activity books, General Knowledge books, Holy/ Religious books and many more books on various topics to enjoy reading. This is the best place to visit for those who love and enjoy reading a lot.

The place is good as there is no other crossword in this side of the town. However, there is very less space inside as it is inside a petrol pump and there are no seats for people to sit. Hence, it is very difficult to sit there and read like other crosswords.
