Ambica Book Binding Works

We are located at 2477 Nano Bhatwado, which is inside Halim’s Khadki in Shahpur. If you find Tripathi Hall, we are right behind it. It’s an old part of the city with narrow lanes, so it can be a bit tricky to find if you aren't used to the area. Our shop is small and smells like old paper and glue. That’s because we spend all our time binding books. We have been doing this in Shahpur for a long time. It’s a traditional kind of work. We don't have fancy machines that do everything automatically. A lot of it is still done by hand, using the old methods we’ve used for years. The space is usually cluttered with stacks of books, covers, and thread. It’s not a polished showroom. It’s a workshop. We don't have a website or a social media page. People find us because they know where we are or someone told them about our little spot in the Khadki. Some days are slow and we just sit and talk, and other days we are working late into the night to finish a big batch of ledgers or journals. The neighbors all know us by now. It’s a quiet life in some ways, even with the noise from the main road nearby. We don't try to be anything we aren't. We just bind books the way they should be bound. If you can navigate the lanes of Shahpur, you’ll find us there working.
