As the 67th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi's martyrdom comes up January 30, a special sale next week will offer untold discounts on books based upon him. Bapu's autobiography 'The Story of My Experiments with Truth' will be available for as little as Rs 30, and his selected works of 2,500 pages come for Rs 75.
Bombay Sarvodaya Mandal, which specialises in the sale of books on Gandhi, is organising the sale from January 27 to February 2 from 10.00am to 7.00pm. "We are setting up a counter near Flora Fountain and will also sell the books from our centre at Nana Chowk," said spokesman of Mandal. "Around 250 titles written by Bapu or about him as well as Vinoba Bhave will be available for a 50% discount."
'Selected Works of Mahatma Gandhi', comprising 2,500 pages, is priced at Rs 75. Babulnath Mandir Charities is shouldering part of the subsidy.
