FOR THE BOOK LOVERS


How often do you stumble upon a treasure trove of 102 rare and iconic photography books—featuring legends and cult classics from across the globe—all in one spot, right here in Mumbai?

And guess what? You can actually borrow them. No library cards, no fees, no fine print. Just pure, goosebump-worthy inspiration waiting to be flipped through!

The Only Caveat

As fellow book lovers, we deeply understand the care, effort, and emotional value that goes into building a personal collection—especially one filled with rare finds and timeless works. To honour that, we request a fully refundable security deposit equivalent to the book’s value. This simply ensures the books are returned in good condition and continue inspiring others, just as they did you.

Live in Mumbai? Great—you’re in the club! If not, well… these books are homebodies. They refuse to cross city limits without a passport.
