Booksbeka & Company

Our place, Booksbeka & Company, is situated at 638, Dr Vishnuvardhan Road in Channasandra. It is a busy part of the city, and there is always a lot of activity right outside our front door. We have been here for a while, focusing on providing books to the local community and the students who live around here. The shop is packed with all sorts of titles. We have a lot of academic books because of the colleges nearby, but we also keep some general things. The space inside is quite tight because we try to fit as many books as possible onto the shelves. Sometimes the boxes from our suppliers take up the walking space for a few days until we can get everything put away. It is not a corporate store with a lot of staff. Usually, it is just a couple of us managing the counter and the stock. We know where most things are, even if it looks a bit messy to someone walking in for the first time. The walls are covered in shelves, and the lighting could probably be better, but it works for us. We stay open throughout the day and see a lot of the same faces coming back for their next semester's books. Channasandra is a loud place, but once you step inside, it is all about the books. We do not have a mission statement or anything like that; we just sell books.
