Here are some suggestions from Kolkata tales to maximise your load
Go early: the box book fair restocks daily, yet we suggest that you go really early on the first day or during the morning hours to avoid the massive crowds
Master the art of stacking: hand covers take too much space, so you need to choose wisely. Paperbacks will be the best practice for you. Place the large books first and use smaller books to fill in the gaps along the side
Haunt for hidden Gems: don't rush towards the top piles. Maybe the best-loved books and the dear editions will be hidden at the bottom of the stack
Go with the list: with over 10 lakh + books, it's really easy that you will be confused. Have a rough idea of targeting the genres like fiction, thriller, classic, and non-fiction
