Where to get inexpensive books in Delhi?

Ah! Just how many of us have opened Flipkart in excitement to buy the books we want, scrolled it happily, opened the link to our book, saw its price...looked at your wallets and abandoned the idea to buy that book.

Well at least if you live in Delhi, you are in some pretty good luck. Given the dynamic of social culture in Delhi and it's people - remember how everyone is in Delhi and out of it within 3 month and the long queues of mostly cash strapped students at JNU or DU - Delhi has come up with some amazing options to get cheap books and that too in good quality, if you have a day or two to waste searching all the gullies and some good amount of money to waste travelling across the gullies of these markets, and if you don't live nearby, well then reaching these places is a pain in the ass itself. Thanks Delhi traffic.

So if you want to enjoy the novel which you always wanted to read, at the comfort of your home, at really really cheap prices, then head on to our website www.grabel.co to borrow some dope collection of novels from awesome people like you in the city. We'll deliver it to you, handle the money - no cash, and take care of everything else. You just have to chill and read.
