Azad Book Depot Lucknow

Azad Book Depot Lucknow is right in the middle of the Azad Market area, specifically at No. S 6/ 62. We are situated right opposite the Hal Gate in Indira Nagar. It is a very busy place with people coming and going at all hours. The shop itself is filled with books from the floor all the way to the ceiling. Sometimes it is honestly hard to find a specific title because we have so many of them piled up in stacks. We have school books, some novels, and all sorts of stationery items like pens and notebooks. It always smells like old paper and fresh ink in here, which is something we have grown to love. We do not have a complicated computer system to track every single book in the shop. Usually, we just know which shelf or corner to look at when someone asks. It is a bit old-fashioned that way, I suppose. My father started this place many years ago and not much has changed since then. The wooden shelves are a bit bowed in the middle from the heavy weight of all the books. It is a local spot where students come to get their supplies for the new school term. We do not have any air conditioning, so we just keep the doors open and the ceiling fans spinning fast. It gets crowded on the weekends, but we manage just fine.
