Once one of the main attractions of college street was shops for old books. I feel the importance of college street for old books is equally important like university of Kolkata and Kolkata Medical college.
While I used to go regularly at college street for attending classes at the university I used to the visit shops of old books very frequently. I felt the shops were like gold mines. I was surprised to see the huge stock of rare books on different subjects.
The feature of the said market is that some books which are out of market and out of print the same may be available. The another feature is the books are fairly cheap. The book lovers and those who are engaged in higher studies to them the old books market like paradise.
It is my ignorance that I do not know the present status of the said market. I found many scholar persons were searching for books and personality I have purchased many books at that time. I pray for the glory of the said market like before.
