Lyall Book Depo

We’ve been at this spot on Sultania Road for a long time. People usually find us by looking for the Samsung showroom and then heading around the back. It’s a bit tucked away behind Moti Masjid, but it works for us. We keep a lot of books on the shelves here. Most days are spent unpacking boxes or helping someone find a specific title they need for school or just to read. The shop isn't fancy, just stacks of paper and the smell of ink. Sometimes it gets a bit crowded with all the inventory, but that’s just how a book shop is. We don't have a big staff, just a few of us who know where everything is kept. If you're walking down Sultania Road, you might miss us if you don't know to go behind the mobile shop. It stays pretty quiet back here which is nice for a change. We try to keep the books organized, though things tend to shift around when we get new stock in. It’s a simple setup. We open up in the morning and stay until the evening. We don't do much advertising; people just know we're here or they get told by a friend. It’s been that way for years. We just keep doing what we do, selling books to whoever stops by. It’s a decent living and we like the neighborhood. The back side of the showroom isn't the most visible spot, but it’s home.
