Chander Book Depot and Cambridge Book Depot

There were Chander Book Depot and Cambridge Book Depot, the two bookshops in the city, which had received Shri Nathji's special attention during the children’s school days. Not only had Shri Nathji purchased School Books from them but also comics and storybooks. The proprietor of Cambridge Book Depot had once said: “Shri Nathji loves me most in Mussoorie!” Indeed this was the experience of all who met Shri Nathji. His love was so great that it made each person think that he loved him most of all.
In 2004, HH Priya Nath to the house of Shri Chander Bhan Varma, the proprietor of the Chander Book Depot. It was the first time that HH Priya Nath was visiting anyone’s home at Mussoorie in years. Chander was ill, and HH Priya Nath had a premonition that he was going to leave the world, even though his illness was not serious at all. Priya Nath gave Chander a picture of Shri Nathji and asked him to keep it in front of his bed. Chander asked Priya Nath to leave his blessings behind.
Within the next few days, Chander left the world in peace. Priya Nath missed the man whom he had seen sitting at the door of his shop, Chander book Depot, ever since the days of his childhood, when he had purchased comics from the man’s shop.

Both these bookstores are still in Mussoorie at the same locations in Kulri Bazaar.  Sunil Arora is now the present owner of the oldest book shop of Mussoorie, the Cambridge Book Depot.
