Kohli Book Distributors

You can find us over at No. 40 on Vaishali Lane No. 1. It is right across from the big telephone exchange in Dabri Palam. If you see the exchange building twice on the map, well, we are right there opposite to it. It gets pretty crowded with all the stacks of books we have lying around. We spend a lot of time just moving boxes and making sure the titles are where they should be. It’s a lot of paper and ink. Sometimes the dust from the old stock gets to you, but that’s just how it is with this kind of work. We aren't a big flashy store with bright lights. It is more of a warehouse feel where things are always being loaded or unloaded. The street outside is usually full of people and small shops. We try to keep things moving as fast as we can, though sometimes the deliveries take a bit longer than we’d like. It’s just me and a couple of others most days. We drink a lot of tea and try to stay on top of the orders coming in. Dealing with books means you’re always finding something you forgot was at the bottom of a pile. It’s not an easy job, but it keeps us on our toes. People stop by and ask for things, and we do what we can to find them in the stacks. It works for us.
