Nai Sarak: Good place to get all books

Nai Sarak, is located right in the midst of Chandni Chowk, and is pretty famous for people interested in books. A fair amount of students in school, and college would know about Nai Sarak, given that this is the cheapest place in Delhi to buy books, and especially for the medical and engineering books that are pretty expensive, and difficult to find elsewhere. There are specialized shops dealing with all medical books, with engineering books, and many other types.
Once you reach Red Fort, then need to take the road entering Chandni Chowk, and then ask. It is located by taking a left turn after the Paranthewali Gali, and is actually the linking road between Chandni Chowk and Chawri Bazaar. Taking your vehicle inside is not recommended unless you are on a 2-wheeler. Open on all days, except Sundays. It is pretty narrow, lined by double storey buildings, and the lower storeys of these buildings has shops selling books.
Why is it called Nai Sarak? This is mainly because it is a comparatively new and broad road made by the British after the war of 1857. It is pretty busy, with a large number of people frequenting these shops. If you are buying a number of books, say for a college session, this is the place to go. In addition, there are shops specializing in stationery items, as well as papers used in office.
