Highlights
- Abids and Koti Book Market are in crisis.
- Online shopping is causing damage to small shops.
- It is up to the local people to save these shops.
Sell books at very cheap prices
Online shopping is the problem, shopkeepers in Koti Book Market say that these online stores sell books at very cheap prices. Sometimes the prices of books become so cheap that people order cheap books online even after watching books in the shop. Small shops cannot compete with it.
Here is not just books but an experience, Sunday book market is famous all over the city. People wait for Sunday and search for their favorite books. Old Telugu books are also found here which are not found on the online website. This market protects the old printed books and the books of local writers are also found here, which are ignored online.
Easy to shop online
The future of these shops is in the hands of the people of Hyderabad depending on the people of Hyderabad what the future of book shops will be. Some customers know that it is easy to shop online, but they are worried about losing these special places. Local people say that we also sometimes make shopping online, but local book vendors get such amazing books that do not show websites. Losing these shops will not only be like losing the store, but it would be like losing a part of Hyderabad’s heart.
