That was a sunny day of 1972.A book shop was started in New Market, Dibrugarh.Gradually it has grown up and that tiny seedling becomes a full grown tree. It has spread its branches and in 1990 a branch office was started in Guwahati Panbazar with an aim to serve Assamese literature and Assamese reader more seriously. Almost Four decades have passed and now that small book shop has been counted among one of the aristocratic and huge publication houses in Assam today.Yes it is BANALATA-the One Stop for Unusual and Unparallel Books.
