They have been giving small little pleasant surprises along their journey - how smooth it is to just request a book, and "Samjho Ho Gaya" - the same gets delivered, with proper cover, and after checking out your suitable time! and then...after appropriate no of days....you get a gentle subtle reminder to give it back if you have completed the reading!
And then, if you have a book that someone asks for in the network, collection - You give a normal book and get surprised when you get it back with proper cover.....with a pleasant feeling small little thank you note...
and there is much more....recommendations....books of season...those once in a while mails ....
I cherish my association with Bookelphia!
I joined the bookelphia bandwagon when it started way back. I loved the idea of the possibility of borrowing from an unlimited library across the city. Ive read books that I've wanted to, but not bought because of the price; simply because I could easily borrow it from the vast number of lenders. Ive shared details with others too and am glad to say that besides my own daughter, two other kids from my building borrow from Bookelphia.
I also am glad to share my own collection of books and love how beautifully the books are handled by the bookelphia team. From covering the books to ensuring that no damage is done to the books while in transit or while with the borrower.
Keep up the great work and continue to get more people interested in books. you are doing the world a service.
As a Great Man had once exclaimed, "Outside of a dog, book's are a man's best friend". Since 2018, being associated with Bookelphia, my friendship with books has strengthened.
I've manged to complete (the highest being) 49 books in a year all thanks to the extensive collection, doorstep delivery and reasonably priced books. So from being a Bibliophile then; to now being a Bookworm, the journey with Bookelphia has been nothing short of sweet and amazing. The New additions of Book titles every week keeps me motivated to complete the 52 Week Book Reading Challenge (nearly there since 2020).
Thanks to Reetu ma'am and Team Bookelphia !!!
Bookelphia has been a boon for me. I am a voracious reader and have always had a libarary membership in every city I have lived in. I was desperately searching for one in Mumbai when I came across Bookelphia. It has a great variety of books, is very prompt and most important of all it takes very good care of all the books which are shared and circulated by members. It is run by an ex IIM grad whose passion and love for books made her forgo a lucrative career to start a community, crowd sourced library. I think it is a brilliant initiative and more power to the initiative and to its founder!
Bookelphia is the first online library that I tried and I am extremely happy with my decision. I love the concept and how the books are being taken care of. I not only get to discover new books on Bookelphia but I can finally share my books with fellow Bibliophiles. Shout out to the prompt delivery and pick-up service. More Power to you Guys!
