Bookstore wins hearts for selling book to child who ran out of money

The introduction of online PDFs and digital audiobooks has failed to affect the love of bookstores among the public. Bibliophiles love to spend their leisure time turning the pages of their favourite hardcover or paperback. Apart from reading, there are several individuals having a hobby of adding their favourite books to their very-own special collection.

The news was shared by a store named Walking Bookfairs on their official Twitter handle.

The caption of the post explained, “A young reader walked in with ₹400 in his pocket, and was overjoyed to find manga books in the store. He was disappointed that the one he wanted was priced at Rs 699. His smile when we told him he could have it at Rs 400 made our day.”

The move by the bookstore touched the hearts of social media users. They hardly wasted any time to appreciate the effort since the post surfaced on the internet. A user acknowledged, “I am filled with joy after reading this bcoz these small gestures at your bookstore are the reason why it is my favourite in town.”
