Cambridge Book Depot

Old Mall Road bookshop closely associated with Mussoorie writer Ruskin Bond

Cambridge Book Depot is a small Mall Road bookshop with an outsized place in Mussoorie's literary life, especially because of its association with Ruskin Bond. It is a reminder that the hill station's appeal has always been partly bookish: weather, walks, schools, and writers.

The shop is worth a short browse if you are interested in Indian hill-station literature or want a practical souvenir that is not another packet of fudge. It pairs naturally with a slow walk along the Mall and Landour's older lanes.
