In this Kindle era, to get children to love books as much as we did is an ordeal by itself. When things go the e-way, it isn’t the easy way always! Also, with so many online websites offering a great sale on books round the year, there must be something right that bookstores must be doing to retain their customers in spite of sky-high store rentals.
I might adapt to the technology of today with all the gadgets and apps, but when it comes to books, I prefer the old school of thought. Nothing compares to the smell of your favourite book lying close to your chest and I wish to pass on an opportunity to my child to enjoy books the same way I did. Listing the best bookstores in Delhi-NCR where you can buy lovely books for your child and grab your favourite authors for yourself!
