There’s a pretty large starmark in the Express Avenue mall, on the 2nd floor
Decently stocked with books though not quite the way Landmark was in its heyday. This literate silklister is way out of shelf space so generally buys on the kindle, these days. Or at second hand bookshops in Hyderabad (Best Book Center) and Bangalore (so many on Church Street – Blossoms, Goobe and a couple of others). That sort of joint is the only sort of place that stocks the old pulp novels that I tend to buy anyway. --srs On 04/08/16, 5:18 PM, "silklist on behalf of Badri Natarajan" <[email protected] on behalf of [email protected]> wrote: > On 4 Aug 2016, at 10:06, Thaths <[email protected]> wrote: > > Now that Landmark (the main bookstore and the various branches) is dead[1], > where do literate silklisters in Chennai go to buy books? > > Thaths *delurks* Yes, Starmark the best option by far. Some other smaller places but wouldn’t even bother with them. PS - SRS, do you mean Starmark in Phoenix Mall? I didn’t even know they had an EA branch. The Phoenix Mall branch isn’t bad. Not great, but not bad. Landmark was fantastic - so many amazing childhood memories. It was a “happy place” as a kid. Most of the slide came after they sold out to the Tata Group.. I am also mostly on Kindle now but recommendations come when I walk through bookshops and take notes plus friends, plus blogs and discussion forums relating to subjects I’m interested in..that kind of thing. Even book reviews in newspapers etc. I have friends who swear by Goodreads but I have never found it necessary.. Badri
