What happens when you sell good books at an unbelievable 25 rupees each? A near-stampede, such as the one at a garage sale by HarperCollins in the national capital region.

Hundreds of people, including children and wheelchair users, thronged the gates at the company’s warehouse in Faridabad on Friday, even before the two-day sale began.
