Business of reading: Why this Andheri commerce graduate quit a bank job to sell books

After Raju Yadav graduated from college, he followed his passion for reading and opened a bookstall -- at the peak of the digital boom. In part six of ‘Shelf Life’, Mid-day Online visits his Andheri shop cum library

Raju Yadav’s bookstall is the only one of its kind, nestled on a busy street a few paces away from Gate No 1 of Takshila Colony in Andheri East.

It is exactly the kind of cubicle he wants to be seated in for the rest of his life.
