Maharaja Lal & Sons

You can find us at 2785/20 in the Beadonpura area of Karol Bagh. It is a busy part of the city, and our shop has been part of this street for quite a long time. The name has been on the sign for generations, and we just keep doing what we have always done. The shop is full of books, and I mean really full. We have piles on the counters and rows on the shelves that go all the way back. Karol Bagh is always moving, so we get a lot of different people coming in. Some are looking for very specific old books, while others just want something to read on the train. We don't have a lot of space for people to walk around, so you kind of have to squeeze past each other. The floors are a bit worn down from all the foot traffic over the years. We don't use any fancy marketing or anything like that. People know we are here and they come to us when they need something. It is a bit old-fashioned, I suppose. I spend most of my day answering questions and looking for titles in the back room. It is a lot of work to keep track of everything, but it is what we do. We just keep the doors open and wait for the next person to walk in. There is always someone looking for a book we have buried somewhere.
