Select Book Store

A Bookstore in Bangalore, underrated or perhaps unknown in this busy city, Where each one is busy capturing the well known places.

When we first met the owner of the shop, he had a calm, composed demeanour and spoke very little. He is the third-generation owner of the bookshop, which was started by his grandfather in the 1940s.

Since 1999, the third generation took over – now the aged KKS Murthy is happy assisting his son K Sanjay (aged 54), the shop was frequented by the likes of Ruskin Bond and C V Raman, former governor TN Chaturvedi to just name a few.
He stated recently last year he lost his father. Yet the legacy goes on to cater book readers. He also mentioned few points that people often visit the neighbouring bookstores which are well known and came into light through social media.

He stated few people came to his bookstore and had done a quick blogs which in return helped him to get more customers and the bookstore started to come in light in this very busy area of this city called ” MG Road”.
