Indian online booksellers/vendors
I'm looking for a good Indian website that sells (via credit card) and ships books within India. Something along the lines of Amazon.com would be ideal, but I'm open to single publishers as well, as long as their websites are secure.
I've cast a wide net intentionally, but I am mostly looking for books on social sciences and history, so any specific info regarding these subjects would also be appreciated. Thanks. |

It is not a very wide net after all. Here is some I know.
1. http://firstandsecond.com/ One of the oldest I think. Fabmall.com was the first, they crumbled. 2. http://www.strandbookstall.com/store/ Thought they don't have an online payment system, they do have a shopping cart and some clumsy ways of payment. I am including them because they are one of the well known offline stores who can assure you to get you any book. 3. http://www.landmarkonthenet.com/ 4. http://books.rediff.com/ |

Have you searched/inquired with the many Indian booksellers on abebooks.com as of yet?
