Higginbothams

"Indian's Oldest Bookstore" I love reading and was very excited to visit this oldest bookstore from the day I came across this in reels. From the start of the bookstore till the very end, from the right to the left, every nook and corner is filled with a wide range of books. From thrillers to horror, from fantasies to fairytale, from romance to comics, from self help to topic based books, from kids books to young adults, from Indian authors to International authors - they have it all. You name it and they have it. Apart from books, they also sell stationary, toys, tote bags, bookmarks and so on. Check out the place readers, I am sure you will love it! It's next to the MG Road metro station, so the commutation is not an issue. Happy time! Happy reading!!

I found the collections exhaustive. It has lived upto the value of a classic book lovers paradise. I have largely loved their Tamil and Kannada collection, which too is unique in many ways. Keep checking this spot bookworms

I went there reading on the net that it's the oldest bookstore in India...which I realized on the way is not true! But still thought of checking it out. To be honest, it appeared to be just okay and more than that I felt disappointed seeing the space - its a huge place with some classy old world charm but seems to be ignored by the owners and not being upkept well. Whenever I am in Chennai, will try the one which is the oldest!
