Is this because inventories of old and fairly new books are piling up in warehouses at your end and there are basically no takers for them? Maybe, that&#39;s why they are being offloaded in English-speaking countries like India. The number of books at Indian exhibitions, and Books by Weight is just one of them, is simply huge.<br /><br />As for bestsellers I read them every now and then. In fact, I&#39;m currently reading a Lawrence Sanders!Prashant C.

The phenomenon of bestsellers truly is interniatonl these days, isn&#39;t it? James Patterson, Jeffrey Deaver, Kathy Reichs, Lawrence Sanders, Tom Clancy, John Grisham... To me these are authors whose books are obstacles that need to be shoved aside in order to get to the &quot;real meat&quot; at a book sale. But I envy you turning up a large box full of Ruth Rendell books. That certainly wouldn&#39;t happen in Illinois or Wisconsin.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169151311037688512.post-87272959292708936832016-03-15T09:55:15.113-07:002016-03-15T09:55:15.113-07:00A treasure trove!
