Hyderabad the city of nizams

 

Hyderabad is the capital and the largest city of the south Indian state of Telangana. Hyderabad weather is usually arid, the days are hot and the nights are cold. Tourism forms a prominent role in the economy of Hyderabad. You can see a lot of masjids, churches, temples and bazaars around the city. In 2011 it was ranked 19th in the world by The New York times in the list of top 41 places to go in 2011. Tourism generates US$23 million of revenue for the state. Famous places around the city include  Charminar, a UNESCO Asia Pacific Heritage site,  Salar Jung Museum which is among the world's largest private collection museums, Golconda fort, Ramoji film city, and many more  Hyderabad is also known as the city of pearls as once it was the famous trade centre for diamonds, pearls and precious stones. There are a lot of bazaars around the city selling precious stones, jewelry, and pearls but for bibliophile’s the books rate matters more than the gold rate in Hyderabad ! 

 

Why should you prefer second hand books?

 

As we see in other Indian cities Hyderabad also has a lot of book clubs and book lovers in the house, and if you are one of them you have landed in the right place. Great peoples have wisely said books are never a burden. Books can be considered as a large pool of knowledge and you can refer to them whenever you want, no matter if you have a stable internet connection with a good speed or not. If you are preparing for some exams or if you are a student, a working professional, a teacher, a businessman or a retired person enjoying your retired life, books can always be beneficial and be a good friend.

But for most of the people, price is always the concern and we have an amazing idea to solve your problem that is buying second hand books. You can buy second hand books online or even offline and you get them at the half rate compared to new books. I would recommend you second hand books or used books because the content would anyway be the same, you are saving a lot of trees by reusing paper, and you are saving your money. On an average 1 tree produces 8000 pages of paper. In USA alone on an average, 2 billion books are produced every year and it would require 32 million trees to be chopped down every year and that’s shocking ! but we can reduce it by our little move of buying second hand books
