The Penguins Classic Festivals is currently underway at the Blossom Book House. “What sets this location apart is that it has an exclusive section for Penguin Classics,” Mayi Gowda, founder and owner of the Blossom Book House stated. The event has been underway for more than 4 years. The current edition would extend itself to 3 months. “The aim of this initiative was to showcase the wide range of classic literature and not just the well-known ones. Instead of allocating just one bookshelf of a store to classics, we thought a place such as this would have more of an impact. Hopefully, these other titles will pique the interest of readers who walk in. It is one thing to explore new material on your own, but if you have somebody who can guide you to selecting the sort of books you enjoy reading, it’s even better,” Manoj Satti, Group Vice President - International Product & Marketing, Penguin Random House India stated. 

Blossom Book House, a well known book house on Church Street in M.G Road, Bengalru opened a third stall on the same road earlier in January 2023. This new outlet was specifically reserved for old and rare books. It was also dedicated for the purpose of holding book launches and other functions.
