These Days People Have Become Dependent more on E-commerce then going to a book store.
However if you are a bookworm like me, you will love going to different book stores and feel the excitements of Brand New Books.
Here are some tips if you are an offline buyer:
Check the cover of the book properly. For eg: if youve read about a book on google that it is hard cover and if you find a paperback one in the store means understand that the book is a pirated piece.
If you are going for a brand new launched book do search for the Writers Signature cause its rare and real books.
Just do 30 sec flip through so that you can ensure that no page is torn.
Try to go for a book with thick paper quality, so that the writings dont get smudged over long storing.
Dont buy from the shop who is telling the exact price as MRP because almost all the shop give a minimum discount of 5-10.
Try to pick more books at a time.
Prefer book fairs over regular stores.
If you can whenever you travel to New Delhi, dont forget to visit its book wholesale market.
Thankyou I will come up with tips on buying online till then stay tuned.
