Coles Road, Frazer Town, Bengaluru 560005
Open in MapsAn independent bookstore stocking fiction, non-fiction and a growing shelf of local authors — if we don't have it, we'll try to source it for you. We've been putting books in the hands of Frazer Town readers since 2016, and our shelves are arranged the old-fashioned way: by what our staff have actually read and loved, not just by genre.
FROM THE READING CORNER
“The book club made me read a debut novel I'd never have picked. And the coffee is genuinely good.”
— Aditi Ramachandran
“They sourced a 1970s translation I'd been hunting for years — in six days.”
— Dr. Faisal Qureshi
“Reader's Club is the best gift I've given. The staff note on each book is lovely.”
— Sneha Kulkarni
“My kids look forward to Saturday mornings in the reading corner.”
— Joseph Mathew
Every Saturday morning the reading corner fills up with regulars who've come to browse rather than buy — we like it that way. New shipments get unpacked on the front table where anyone can dig through the boxes before they're properly shelved.
Book Club
Our monthly book club meets the first Sunday of every month, right here among the shelves — coffee's on us, and you don't need to have finished the book to show up. We pick a new title at the end of each session, alternating between fiction and non-fiction so the group doesn't get stuck in one lane.
Upcoming meetings
Sep 14 — short fiction
Oct 5 — a debut novel, non-fiction month starts
Nov 2 — reader's choice, vote at the counter
Dec 7 — year-end favourites, potluck snacks
Local Authors
Our back shelf carries more than sixty books by Bengaluru and Karnataka writers — small presses, self-published poetry, translations from Kannada. Ask at the counter or try the sorting basket by the window.
Authors who want to be on the shelf can email us; we read everything and take consignment copies of those we love.
