Just hearing that Eloor is still around is a massive nostalgia fix. Thanks! I too go to Eloor Library on Infantry Road. The men there know exactly where each book is (kinda like Blossom) which I enjoy. I also am a member of Just Books but the staff at my Frazer Town branch isn’t knowledgeable. Nikhil: when you return to Bengaluru next, you must visit Atta Galatta. It is the best bookstore— notwithstanding the old stalwarts on Church street— in the newly renamed Bengaluru and since I am from Chennai and can deal with the name change, I can deal with Bengaluru as well. The change to Gulbarga however is a mouth full and I cannot remember it. Don’t know much about naval history books, but I subscribe to this podcast called “Military History Podcast” which is basically one man describing (rather dourly but succinctly) different things about military. Stumbled upon it when I was researching Ninjas.
