Winters in Delhi means you find a good book shop to cozy up and read your favorite novels or books without any hassle. Though I am not a book lover per se, however, I accompanied one of my book-worm friends to the famed Midland Book Shop as she wanted to check a few books for buying.
The shop itself is quite gorgeous. The range of books is impressive and the books have been cataloged in a sophisticated manner too. Even extremely rare books can be found here, if you invest some time in searching them. However, there seems to be a shortage of staff here. There was no one in shop to attend to our needs. My friend and I had to wait for more than 15 minutes before someone came to our help to find the selected books. Even that guy seemed in a hurry and left quickly. We had to again call him so that we could find all of our books.
Another negative aspect about this shop is the prices of the books. Almost all the books which we inquired were priced steeply. Though there was discount available on the books, however, it was reserved for regular visitors. This really was a huge disappointment for us. They did not even provide any home delivery service to us, as it is not available at this shop. Overall, the shop stocks a good amount of books, however, they need to hire more people to cater to the customers' needs.
