Lock the Box by Bookchor is just round the corner
The event will be held from July 12 to 21 at Elaan Convention Centre in JP Nagar and will have over one million pre-owned books available for sale
Lock the Box, an event by Bookchor, the online bookstore for pre-owned books, is just round the corner. At the event a buyer can make a one-time payment for all the books he or she can carry in a box. This is unlike book by kilogram purchases or discounts on specific titles.
This 10-day event will be held from July 12 to 21 at Elaan Convention Centre in JP Nagar and will have over one million pre-owned books available.
The event offers boxes of 3 different sizes based on the storage capacity, although it is up to one to see how many books they want to fit in the box of their choice. The three offered box sizes include the ‘Odysseus’ box which can fit minimum 8-10 books priced at Rs 999, the ‘Perseus’ box which can fit a minimum of 15-17 books priced at Rs 1,499, and the ‘Hercules’ box which can accommodate 28-30 books prices at Rs 2,499.
The event will also comprise literary games and activities to indulge in, reading spaces, quiz competitions, poetry reading, food stalls for your gastronomic cravings, outlets to sell your existing books, drawing and story writing competitions for kids, as well as workshops for budding authors and artists. The event also provides an opportunity to meet authors and bloggers at the venue.
Till date, ‘Lock the Box’ has made its way across 16 cities and plans to cover many more in 2019, generating a footfall of over 40,000 readers on an average over a weekend.
