Bookchor, an online bookstore for pre-owned books, is hosting ‘LockTheBox Reloaded,’ a one-of-a-kind book sale in which you don’t have to pay for individual books; instead, you pay for a box and take home as many books as you can fit into the box.
To be held from 25th June to 3rd July at Shubh Convention, Puttenahalli, Phase 7, JP Nagar, Bengaluru, the event will have over 10 Lakh books to choose from across genres such as fiction, non-fiction, crime, romance, books for young adults and children, adventure, science fiction, and much more.
Bibliophiles can choose from three different sizes of boxes named after Greek mythology heroes- The Odysseus box, Perseus Box, and the biggest and the mightiest, the Hercules box.

Readers can add as many books of their choice in the box with only the condition that the box should close flat. So, there is literally no limit on the number of books.
Well-known authors Anand Neelakantan and Sudeep Nagarkar will be present at the event for a meet and greet with book lovers and to share signed copies of their books.
Commenting on the event, Vidyut Sharma, Founder, Bookchor, said, “We are thrilled to host ‘LockTheBox Reloaded’ in Bangalore. We have received an overwhelming response in other cities like Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Indore, and we are hoping to receive a similar response in Bangalore too. Book lovers can choose from over 10 Lakh books from Indian and International authors across genres. We will also replenish the books on a daily basis so that readers can get the best of the content available in the market.”
