Leaping Windows: Mumbai's first comic book library

Leaping Windows is a library for comics, graphic novels and manga in Mumbai. With a delivery boy wearing a cape for a logo, they are the first dedicated providers of this service in the city. This neat niche business lends comics out because they say it's more affordable than buying the book, and encourages people to read and experiment more.

We chat with two of the three founders of Leaping Windows, ultra cool librarians Bidisha Basu and Utsa Shom, about their project and also their work aimed at setting up a community and a social networking website to create a forum for fellow comic lovers to commune and blog, which they hope will facilitate the growth of graphic art appreciation and production.
