The question may sound a bit strange to you but how do you usually pay for books when buying from a store or online platforms? Like other customers, we purchase the ones we choose by paying their prices. Kolkata will soon host a unique bookfair where visitors will not be charged book prices. Instead, they can buy as many as they want by paying for a box. Surprising, right?

Bibliophiles usually spend a wonderful time at bookfairs by exploring stalls and getting their hands on their loved pieces. To take this shopping experience to another level, The Story Box is all set to bring India’s most unique bookfair to Kolkata.

Starting January 9, Science City’s Seminar Hall will host this unique event. This one-of-a-kind fair will open doors to customers where they will pay to purchase boxes and not books. The overall bill will not be based on the number of books.

You will get to grab as many books as you like and arrange them in your cardboard box. This unique bookfair in Kolkata will offer two types of boxes to choose from. The first option is a mini blue-coloured one charging ₹1500. The StoryBox Biggie is yellow-coloured, costing ₹2500.
