Strand Bookstall sent me an email this morning and I reproduce it here for you. I hope they won’t mind since I could be sending customers their way. (Disclaimer: Some formatting may have changed during the copy and paste operation.)
Dear Readers,

The Mid–Year Strand Book Festival
At Basava Bhavan, (Opp. Hotel Chalukya, Near Raj Bhavan & Planetarium)
Fri 18 – Sun 27 July (Incl. 2 Sundays)
10am – 8.30pm (Loads of parking!)
10 days only.
Simply not to be missed. Set a day aside
I’m a big fan of the yearly Strand book sale but I’ve never been to the mid-year one. I am not sure if I will go to this one but if I find myself around that area, I might.
Any of you been to the mid-year sale? Thoughts?

Oh no! Missed it…. I had been last year, same place and the collection was superb. I bought many books – completed my Asterix collection, a leather bound book of Charles Dickens, novels, children’s books… sigh! When is the next one?!

Jyothi: There’ll be another one in December; that’s the main one and it usually is at the Chinnaswamy stadium.
