The Bookworm

other

The Bookworm in Ashok Nagar stands out because of the precarious tower of paperbacks that often spills out onto the sidewalk. Krishna Gowda opened this shop in two thousand two after spending years working as a library assistant. He began his business by selling books from a humble pushcart, moving titles between various street corners in the city. Today, his shop houses thousands of used volumes, stacked floor to ceiling, where customers frequently find rare editions tucked between common mass-market paperbacks.
