Book Store Name – “Book Selection Center”
Area - Kachiguda, Hyderabad

This two storied store is a good place for fast sellers. The collection is mostly focused on academic books for higher education that has a variety of sections such as medicine, management, law, geography, software etc. Non-academic books collection is small when compared to the other but it has the fast selling editions of famous authors both Indian and foreign. But both fiction and non-fiction categories are not properly segregated from each other. A few translated versions of selected English bestsellers found their place at the entrance of the store.
