Dear Booklovers, necessity, they say, is the mother of all inventions. One of the disadvantages of living in a small town is the non-availability of good books-even popular best-sellers. This scarcity of books prompted us to come up with this novel idea/concept of offering books online. With Puthi.com you can create a list of books from an online catalog, then order & get them at your doorstep. You also can have access to details such as a brief description of every entry, writer, publisher, and number of pages, price and more along with a photograph of the cover. Payment can be made by cash, money order, cheque, or by credit/debit card. We thought of pursuing a venture such that small town/village dwellers do not miss out on books like we had to. To top it all, you can personally come & visit us to see and smell the books all by yourselves. We also have a good collection of films on DVD/VCD format right from the first film ever made in 1896 by L. Brothers.
