About Champaca: We are writing to you from Champaca Bookstore, an independent, women-run bookstore and children's library in Bangalore. At Champaca, we curate our books and events to enable the discovery of diverse narratives. We are a community of readers. We have experienced the world differently thanks to the stories we've read and shared—they enrich us like nothing else, and we’re excited to share that with you! Until you can make it to our much-loved, quiet, green space in Bangalore, we can bring the books to you—we ship across India.
This December at Champaca, we’re busy filling our shelves with new books and thinking of the perfect holiday presents for you to gift your loved ones (or yourself!). And as a special gift from us to you this holiday season, we’re giving you a 10% discount till the end of the month. Just use the code ‘splainer10’ at checkout on our website.
Our shelves are constantly growing—explore our new arrivals here! We’re filling out some of your favourite shelves: books about food for those of you who love to read about food, love to cook, or just love to eat; graphic novels and illustrated books that cover everything from humour to sexuality to anxiety; science fiction for those of you looking for an escape; and science and nature for those of you wanting to read more about the world around us. And you can always explore the books that our staff has read and loved!
We’d love to help you find the perfect book—just reach out to us on hello@champaca.in.
We’ve also done some of the work for you, if you’d like: our collection of limited-edition curated gift boxes feature books specially chosen by our team with exciting add-ons and specially illustrated Champaca bookmarks. Or you could choose the gift that keeps giving: our Champaca Book Subscription, a monthly curated book box that arrives at your doorstep every month, themed around travel.
If you’re in Bangalore, our leafy, verdant, book-filled store in Bangalore is open from 10:30 am to 6:00 pm, so come by and spend a quiet afternoon with us, and take home a book haul!
You can find us and our book recommendations on our website, Instagram, and Twitter.
Until next time, happy reading!
