Every year we organise the Annual Book & Bake Sale in Delhi. People donate books and baked goods for it, and we sell them at v low prices (between Rs 20-200). And all proceeds go to a charity or a cause.
This year we got over 4k books, and the collection is FANTASTIC! A thread:
We have recently released books, and some lovely classics.
We also have critically acclaimed fiction, both international and Indian.
We obviously have a lot of good crime, and also some curious non fiction.
Plus short story collections, novellas, plays, literary diaries, young adult fiction, graphic novels, and a great children's section. You are bound to find something you like.
Also, the proceeds from the sale this year will go to Nalanda Academy (@AcademyWardha). They train students from marginalised backgrounds (rural and non-English in particular) for quality higher education in India and abroad. All free of cost!
You can find the details of the sale here. Do join us and spread the word!
We have been getting a lot of questions from people wanting to buy these books online. So just wanted to clarify that this is a physical single-day sale happening in Delhi. However, we do plan to have an online chapter after the physical event if stocks permit!

Only 6 days remain for #TheAnnualBookandBakeSale, where we sell fantastic pre-loved books at incredibly low prices (avg. Rs 30 to 250), and all proceeds are donated to a cause.
This year, we have over 4k books generously donated by authors, historians, politicians & book lovers.
We wanted to share a glimpse of the collection we’ve got this year – to begin with, some recent releases – ones we personally recommend - and those we can’t wait to read.
We’ve also got some really good examples of Indian fiction, including prize winners (and those we wish had won instead).
