January 26, 2005: Govindaraju "Hunts for Rare Books Relentlessly" in India
"Govindaraju is 70. But even at this age, he is literally 'hunting' for rare books by stepping into every wastepaper mart in the city. 'I used to wander through the streets and wherever I sight a wastepaper mart, my search begins in the bundles of books kept there', he recounts. As of now, he has over 8,000 books in his collection."
