Reviewed By SaswataM10
People need to come and visit this place to see how big a book market can be. You can also find old and rare books alongside the footpath. This part of Kolkata is also very chaotic, due to presence of hand pulled rickshaws and paddled vans. Presence of Six colleges (Medical College, IISWBM, Calcutta University, Presidency University, Sanskrit College, Jain College) & Three schools (Hindu School - The earlier Hindu college, Hare School, Sanskrit School) represent most of the chaos and also the customer base of this book market. This market is also, the biggest book market, in Asia (in all likelihood).
