With an amazing collection boasting of more than two million books, the book fair has a different concept than others like it.<\/p>\n<p>There are three different-sized boxes available at the venue where you can choose the box on the basis of the number of books you wish to buy. Akshay Jangra from the Bookchor team explains that the three different boxes come with three different prices. The smallest box which is green in colour is for Rs 1,200, the mid-sized box which is orange in colour is for Rs 1,800 and the biggest one which is pink is for Rs 3,000. You can buy as many books as could fit into the box that you choose to pick, but your box must close fully.<\/p>\n<div class=\"full-width-img py-3\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5308\" src=\"https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-11-18-at-12.49.33-PM-711x400.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"711\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-11-18-at-12.49.33-PM-711x400.jpeg 711w, https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-11-18-at-12.49.33-PM-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-11-18-at-12.49.33-PM-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-11-18-at-12.49.33-PM-315x177.jpeg 315w, https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-11-18-at-12.49.33-PM-400x225.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-11-18-at-12.49.33-PM.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 711px) 100vw, 711px\" \/><\/div>\n<p>So if anyone wishes to purchase books without going for the boxes? &#8220;It is possible but would end up costing the buyer more whereas the flat price of each of the boxes ensures you get more than your money\u2019s worth,&#8221; says Jangra.<\/p>\n<div class=\"full-width-img py-3\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.citywoofer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-11-18-at-12.49.38-PM-225x400.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"400\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Weekends are busier and this time Bookchor has made sure that it is in Chandigarh for an entire month. &#8220;Since there was a good response last time around, therefore we have booked the place for the entire month,&#8221; says Jangra.
