We, in Mysore, can do with a weekly pavement mart, say, on Devraj Urs Road on Sundays, in which used book-sellers from various parts of the town could come together to set up shop - on the day when the regular shops have their weekly holiday. Book-lovers who have been around would be familiar with such pavement spreads in Delhi's Ajmal Khan Road (on Mondays), and Daryagunj (on Sundays), Flora Fountain in Mumbai, and Abid's and Kothi in Hyderabad
Used book shops, also called 'exchange libraries' in Bangalore, are reported to be getting their supplies from the weekly flea markets in Mumbai and Delhi.
