Online reservations are requests, not purchases — payment happens at the counter on collection, cash or card.
Reserved stacks are held for three days from confirmation. After that, the books go back to the shelves for the next reader.
Prices shown online are indicative and confirmed at the counter; imported titles occasionally reprice with the rupee.
Special-order timelines are estimates. Books travel by sea, air, and occasionally by miracle; we will keep you posted either way.
