Book Lovers, are you contemplating what to read next? A week-long book fair is currently being held at Binge Central in Noida. The event, organised in collaboration with Books by Daryaganj, began on March 11 and will continue till March 17, 2026.
The fair features a range of books across various genres, including bestsellers, classics, fiction, nonfiction, children's storybooks, self-help, motivational, and investment titles. The books start at Rs 99, while some coffee table books are priced as high as Rs 6,000. Visitors can also find popular titles and series, including the Harry Potter collection.
Apart from book sales, the venue is hosting open mic performances by upcoming artists from 12 noon to 7 pm. A free author consultation session is also being offered for those interested in writing or publishing a book. The book fair will remain open to visitors at the venue till March 17.
In conversation with the Happening Bazaar Team, Aadish, the sales head at HubHawks, in association with Books by Daryaganj and Foster Reads, shared his experience about the Book Fair at Binge Central. He mentioned, “The response here is really good. People are mostly buying self-help and non-fiction books. The most heart-warming thing is that we are getting book lovers across age groups, from teenagers to senior citizens.”
Mahesh Shewani, who works at the Conrad Techspace office complex, says, “I found a lot of good titles at the fair, especially in the self-help books and history sections. But the prices are on the higher side, and I was expecting more discounts. So I did not buy anything, but I had fun browsing through the books.”
Abhishek Kumar, “The book fair is interesting, but I found the books are on the expensive side. Maybe if they offer better discounts, the fair would be a bigger success.”
