Goobe's Book Republic
An airy basement of crime, sci-fi, travelogues and the odd esoteric thing. Bangalore's best little bookshop, owned by Ravi.
why we keep going,
Started in 2009 in the lounge of the Church Street Inn and never lost the lending-library bones. You can still rent rather than buy.
Smaller than Blossom and that's the point. Easier to ask the owner what he'd give a friend who just moved cities.
Open 11:15am to 8pm. Look for the staircase down near KC Das; first-timers walk past it twice.
local context
Opened in 2009 by Ravi Menezes; began as the personal library of the Church Street Inn lounge before going full bookstore.
