Brilliant Books has been sitting here in Kunnummal for a good bit. If you like the smell of paper and old bindings, you’d probably like it here. We have stacks of things everywhere and sometimes it’s hard to find a specific spot to sit down. But we know where everything is, mostly. It’s not one of those shiny stores with coffee shops inside. It’s just a book shop. We spend a lot of time dusting the shelves because the dust always seems to find its way back in. Kunnummal is a nice place for a shop like this. We get people who actually want to read, not just look at the covers. Sometimes a student comes in looking for something rare and we spend half the afternoon digging through the back. We don't mind. It beats staring at a screen all day long. The lights flick sometimes if the weather is bad, but that’s just how the building is. We’ve been here so long the walls feel familiar. We don’t do much advertising or anything. People just find us by word of mouth or by walking past on their way somewhere else. It’s a simple life running a book place. We don’t have a big staff, just a couple of us who know the inventory. If you need something, you just ask and we will see if it's buried somewhere in the piles. We keep a small stool for those who want to look at the bottom shelves.
