Blossom Book House

Poli

Blossom Book House offers an extensive selection of pre-loved books, all at remarkably low prices, often ranging from ₹200 to ₹600 depending on the condition and rarity. Though there aren’t many comfy spots to sit and read, the space itself is vast, spanning an entire building floor with bookshelves at every turn. You’ll find everything from obscure comics to children’s books to literary classics. When it comes to classics, they stock multiple editions and translations. I personally love the Everyman’s Library prints, and if you look hard enough, you’ll spot a few tucked away in the far corners. Despite its long-standing popularity, Blossom retains a chill, unpretentious charm that encourages slow, meandering hours of discovery. A must-visit for book lovers!

Blossom Book House has a huge collection of old and new books. It also has branded merchandise. No place to sit, though. But hours can easily pass just browsing the stock of books.

Ummmm I love this place. It's a must visit for book lovers visiting Bangalore. They have humongous collection of both second hand and new books. I especially love the various categories and genres of books they have on display(they even have a separate romance section)! The books are mostly organized in their proper sections but it's a lot of disorganization. But to be frank I don't mind that - because the best part of books is the serendipity of stumbling on books and Blossoms does this spectacularly. Also they delivery within the city without charges (maybe that's available for purchases above a certain value). The manager of the store was very friendly and helpful. - ✨Serendipity index - very high - ☕️ Browsing index - very high, you can sit for hours without anybody disturbing you and juste joy the place or flip through books.Also know that some sections of the store can get musty with ac not working. - ️% Discount/membership - No - Secondhand books - Yes a very wide variety available. The prices are a bit steep for second hand books found elsewhere but the place makes up for it with sheet variety of books available so buy accordingly. - ️ Regional books - Average. Limited collection of Hindi and Kannada books. The store is pre dominantly English. - ‍♀️ Comics - Huge. I love their collection of magazines, they have so many ! But their condition and maintenance is not the best. A lot of them are chucked into boxes haphazardly and get torn up very easily. Also the comics are not cheap even the second hand ones. Can get for much cheaper from other places but then the titles are harder to find so it's a balancing act. The Manga collection is also huge. - ♿ Wheelchair index - Low. While there is a ramp and lift both are nearly useless from a wheelchair user's perspective - ramp is too steep and the lift is a bit narrow to enter. - ️ Parking - Difficult. There is no parking in front of the store but the metro station entrance is nearby.

The idea they create is they are a book store that has borrowed, used books and gives them out at half the price is completely false. ITs JUST A SALES GIMMICK. For example I bought a S.Radhakrishnan - the Bhagavadgita for 250Rs from blossom ON MAY 17. When I strip the price tag the original new book costs only 195. How's a DONATED USED BOOK PRICED HIGHER THAN A NEW BOOK. Its a scam. People are being deceived for money. May be people have reasons to visit the store. But remember ALL BOOKS ARE PRICED HIGHER THAN ORIGINAL NEW BOOK PRICE. I would rather buy new book than buy used book at higher price.
