I’m looking for Sidney Sheldon’s books.
I’ve searched OLX and other e-commerce websites. Prices are bit expensive to my liking. Though I know it’s justifiable but still I’m looking for cheaper alternatives.
I don’t want ebooks and I don’t like reading in a screen.
Hardcopies only.

Just to clear things, cheap means you are looking for discounts on MRP or can manage with the replicas/ seconds also? And how many of them you want?
I actually don’t mind reading second hand books.
I’m not a ardent reader actually. Just trying to replace “Phone time” with reading.
I was thinking of starting with Sidney Sheldon, Jhumpa Lehri, Dan brown, Amish Tripathi.
Also, it’s not like I want a specific number of books. I just want to get started.
I’ve read some books and understood that I can only read Hardcopies but I cannot afford to buy each for 250 and above (Average price in Amazon)
That is why I was looking for a regular source.
College Street
For first time, I would suggest you to go and get a new book from Amazon. It would make you more comfortable reading it once you able to get this complete you gradually get into second hand copies. As most of people do all tan-trams in starting to just offset the time. 
Yes. You’re right.
But well I’ve started and I have 3-4 books ahead of me.
The Shiva Trilogy and Siddhartha.
Thanks anyways 
Try to make a book reader circle with your neighbours & friends. Start exchanging books with one another and present summary after reading 😊 That ways you’ll save money as well as read more books. And summarising and discussing will give you each other’s perspective. Anyways, talk around, Bengalis are known as great bibliophiles; for sure u will get more books than you can read for free.
Yes. I’m doing this only.
The only issue is I’m not a Bengali and my friend circle have no Bengali’s. Most of my friends don’t read.
But yeah. I’ve found few places now to buy/exchange books.
2nd hand / 2nd prints costs very less.. Golpark area has got quite a few shops catering to this (get them at 30rs/50rs).
Free school street/college street/esplanade also has such shops on footpath. Since Sidney Sheldon is a very popular author, you’ll get the books easily.
 at cheap rates? for Rs. at ){kind=link}
If you are ok with knock offs, you can find them cheap at most of the railway stations (at least I have seen them at Mysore, Chennai, Pune, Mumbai, Jaipur railway stations)
