Within a year, this is the third out of the four bookstores I frequented as a child, that have gone out of business. Those are Bookworm CP, Landmark in Lucknow, Fact & Fiction. Only one remains, and that guy refuses to give a single rupee as discount, so I don't know how long will he last.

That's not all. Most Landmark stores are reducing in size, if not shutting down. Same is happening with Crossword.
