Book lovers in the city of Chennai frequent this spot in Luz, Mylapore, on the roadside, opposite to Kamadhenu theater.
Nammalwar (owner thatha) came to Chennai as a helper to a military officer in the year 1948. He acted in 13 tamil films including ‘Sorgavasal’, saved some money and invested it in the book business. Initially he was going around collecting old books from people’s homes, some of them sold books to him and some gave the books to him free of cost. Nowadays, he never goes out for collection, people come and sell books or hand them over to him. There are also libraries which buy books from this book-seller.
