FriendsOfBooks is a terrific idea - dunno how they do it!
I stumbled on this great service - an online lending library FriendOfBooks. The person who runs it, Arti Jain, and I got talking, and she's put both my books into her library, and I believe they're being borrowed! The service is available in several cities, Pune included. Do check it out. I think it's the perfect answer to wanting to read stuff but not necessarily adding it to your bookshelf (and floorspace)and dusting cleaning chores.
It must be quite an operation to manage, and salaams to the people who keep it up and running. You can buy or borrow books at http://www.friendsofbooks.com

Oh! you should also see bookvook.com, which is exactly the same concept.
they have both a book library as well as a bookshop..same concept. Also librarywala in delhi, pune and bangalore. For only Delhi, there is bookmeabook.com, which is exclusibely a library and not a book shop but!
hey thanks vibs i will check them all out and spread the word. i love the concept
gouri
last i checked with them, they had branches only in Delhi and Mumbai and asked me if I could cover the courier charges.! :-S
Also check click2books.com. Similar service, but most economical, flexible and pretty latest collection. Though in NCR only, but their service has been pretty good. Have been a member for last 3 months, pretty satisfied.
