Seven decades of Mohan Publications

Rajamahendravaram: Mohan Publications, which is known for its authenticity in selling books has marching ahead for seven decades now. In 1970, it came into existence in the name of Lakshmni Narayana Book Depot and later from the year 1990, its name changed as Mohan Publications and before 1970 it was functioning under some other name.

According to Mohan Publications owner Akula Ramachandra Rao, books relating to spiritual, vastu, astrology, religious etc are available in the shop. The shop has 200 own published books, 300 dealers and 20 authors. Because of internet, there is some decrease in the sales as many readers are going through the books through internet. Books published from the year 1929 are available.

Xerox copies of as many as 100 old books were taken and selling them with binding, as they cannot be reprinted. Books such as Lalitha Vishnu Sahasranamam Stotram, Briuhatta Siva Stotra Ratnakaram, Bruhattara Sridevi Stotra Ratnavali, Gopuram etc are familiar.

As per the request of the customers, “We can allow to take Xerox copy of some pages they want. As many as 2,000 books are kept in the blog 'granthanidhi.blogspot.in' and any one can see them freely. Many people from Telangana area are purchasing the books from Mohan Publications,” Ramachandra Rao added.
