Higginbothams<\/p>\n <\/li>\n
Higginbothams is India\'s oldest well-known bookstore which is still in existence. It was founded by an English librarian named Abel Joshua Higginbotham in 1844. In the 1840\'s Higginbotham found employment with the Weslyan Book Shop as a librarian. As the store started to incur heavy losses, the missionaries running the store decided to sell it in 1844. Abel Higginbotham bought the store and renamed it \"Higginbothams\". Since then Higginbothams has expanded to many cities and can be seen in more then 50 railway stations across Indian and in Chennai Airport thus attaining the title of being India\'s oldest bookstore in existence. From 1860 onwards, Higginbothams started selling stationary and publishing and printing their own books. After Abel Higginbotham\'s death in 1891, the business was managed by his son CH Higginbotham, who moved the store to its present location on Mount Road (Anna Salai). In 1945, Amalgamations Group bought Higginbothams and it has been with them since then.<\/p>\n <\/li>\n
