My First BookChor Lock the Box Experience
A book lover’s dream
When BookChor brought its much-loved Lock the Box used book sale to Chandigarh, I finally decided to try something I had never experienced before — attending a pre-loved book sale. And honestly, it turned out to be worth it.
The concept is simple and exciting. With thousands of pre-owned books across genres like crime, fantasy, romance, manga, sci-fi, literature, non-fiction, biographies, self-help, humour and children’s books, you choose a box and fill it with as many books as possible — as long as the box closes flat.
There were three box options: Odysseus ₹1,199 (8–10 books), Perseus ₹1,999 (15–20 books), and Hercules ₹2,999 (25–30+ books). The idea is perfect for readers who love discovering books while getting them at considerably lower prices.
I was initially a little apprehensive about the condition and selection, but I was pleasantly surprised. I picked the smallest box and managed to find some really good books in great condition. In fact, I enjoyed the experience so much that I went back the very next day and filled another small box!
For any book lover, Lock the Box is definitely an experience worth trying.
