In many years Travelling to India, a trip is never complete with coming to this bookshop. Absolutely the finest collection of art and textile books on the planet. I have spent days of sheer pleasure compelling a personal book collection and enjoying good conversation and tea, and hope to do so for years to come.

Visit Art Book Center and meeting Manharbhai his son is a lifetime experience. Passionate and extremely humble. Visiting this bookshop and a good museum are almost the same experience. Wish them a much more meaningful life and share their efforts with scholars and researchers.
