Let more people find your bookshop. Get calls. Sell more. It’s free.
If you run a bookshop in India, you already know the challenges. Footfall goes up and down, and most buyers these days search for books online before stepping out to a nearby store.
However, we have good news for you: Plenty of people still look for local bookshops, especially when it comes to old books, school textbooks, competitive exam guides, and affordable stationery items.
The problem is that they are unable to find you. That’s why we’ve created BookMandee Bookshop Directory – a free bookstore directory in India where buyers can easily discover bookshops near them and connect directly.
Whether you sell old books, new books, or a mix of both, this is your chance to list your bookshop online, increase your visibility, and ensure more readers know your store exists. This free listing for bookstores is our way of supporting bookstore owners like you – especially those who haven’t had a chance to promote their bookshop online or be found beyond their local area.
So if you’ve ever wondered how to get more people to call, visit, or ask if a book is in stock, this is the easiest way to do it.
The Purpose Behind BookMandee Bookshop Directory
At BookMandee, we believe every bookstore owner deserves a chance to be found by readers; not just the big names or those with fancy websites. In India, many bookshops, especially those dealing in old books and stationery, still rely on word of mouth or a simple Google business listing that may not bring enough customers.
This is why we are dedicated to creating a free bookstore directory in India that’s easy to use for both bookstore owners and book buyers.
Our goal is simple:
To help you promote your bookshop online without extra costs or complications.
We offer a reliable platform where book lovers can search and call local bookshops, with an aim to increase your shop’s online visibility and boost customer calls, leading to more sales and steady footfall.
We want to solve the gap that exists between people searching for specific books online and the physical bookshops that actually have them in stock. Buyers can get a direct connection to you (the bookstore owner) instead of guessing or relying on chance.
Ultimately, this bookshop directory can help build a stronger, more connected community of bookshops across India – a place where everyone, be it students or avid readers, can discover the bookshops that best serve their needs.
Who Can List Their Bookshop Online in the BookMandee Bookshop Directory?
Wondering if your bookshop is eligible for a free bookshop listing on BookMandee? If you’re in the business of books or stationary items, you’re welcome here.
BookMandee Bookshop Directory is designed for bookstore owners across India (big or small), new or old. If you run a physical shop that sells books in any capacity, you can list your bookshop online with us and start getting discovered by local readers.
Here’s who can benefit the most from joining our bookstore directory:
- Old bookstores dealing in second-hand books or rare finds
- School & college bookshops selling academic books, guides, and notebooks
- Competitive exam material shops selling coaching materials, sample papers, etc.
- New bookstores with all-new inventory
- Stationery & combo stores
- Local stalls & market bookshops because even the smallest shops deserve visibility
You don’t need a website, you don’t need tech skills – just basic shop info and you’re ready to go. We made this platform simple so that every bookshop in India can finally be found, called, and visited by people who are actually looking for them.
If you’ve ever felt like your bookshop is hidden in plain sight, this is your chance to change that.

Everything That Shows Up in Your BookMandee Bookshop Listing
When you list your bookshop online on BookMandee, we ensure your profile includes the most important information so that customers can easily connect with you, visit your shop, or ask about specific books.
Whether you’re an independent seller or a full-fledged bookstore owner, your bookshop listing on BookMandee will display the following:
-
Bookshop Name (Mandatory) + Location
This will be the official name of your bookshop as seen by customers. It also helps create a unique shop URL for your online listing. Keep in mind that your bookshop name must include the location. For example: if your bookshop name is Raj Bookstore and it is located in Laxmi Nagar, Delhi, you should add Raj Bookstore Laxmi Nagar Delhi as the bookshop name.
1. Bookshop URL
You need to create a clean, shareable URL based on your shop name. For example: if your bookshop name is Raj Bookstore and it is located in Laxmi Nagar, Delhi, you should add – bookmandee.com/raj-bookstore-laxmi-nagar-delhi in the URL field.
2. Opening Hours (Mandatory)
Let people know exactly when you’re open. This helps avoid missed visits and allows customers to plan accordingly.
3. Store Category

- Selling Old Books Only
- Selling Old Books and Stationery Items
- Selling Old and New Books Both
- Selling Old/New Books and Stationery Items
- Selling New Books and Stationery Items
4. Bookshop Email Address (Mandatory)
This is useful for updates, customer inquiries, and getting important alerts from BookMandee.
5. Active Mobile Number (Mandatory)
This is what most buyers will use to call you directly. It also adds trust and credibility to your listing. We will only show this number to the registered/logged-in users to avoid spam calls.
6. Bookshop Owner Aadhar Number
This helps us verify the listing and maintain trust across our bookstore directory in India. This will NOT be publicly visible (just for verification).
7. Shop Logo (Optional)
If you have a logo, upload it to personalize your listing. This is not mandatory but can give your bookshop a more professional look.
Note: The term ‘Mandatory’ above means it is mandatory to add these details while creating your bookshop listing on BookMandee. Otherwise, your listing won’t be created.
