Bandra
Curated independents and recommendation-driven buyers. A branded stand beats a scattered Marketplace post.
Matunga
Sunday bazaar energy: academic texts, fiction, regional languages. List mid-week; sell when the market is closed.
Colaba / Churchgate
Tourist + literary traffic. Strong English fiction and non-fiction demand for ship-or-pickup listings.
