About the Creator
Virtual Book Fair India was founded by Eldon Fairbanks, an avid reader and advocate for global literary access. Though based in Sydney, Australia, Eldon has spent years immersed in India’s literary culture—attending book festivals, collaborating with independent publishers, and championing emerging Indian authors. His mission is simple: to make the beauty of Indian writing visible, discoverable, and reachable for every reader, everywhere.
Why This Website Exists
After witnessing how difficult it was for readers outside India to access local titles—and how many talented Indian authors struggled to find wider audiences—Eldon created Virtual Book Fair India as a bridge. This isn’t just an online bookstore; it’s a celebration of India’s literary soul, designed to honor both tradition and innovation in storytelling.
Our Values
We believe in:
- Authenticity—highlighting voices that matter, not just those that sell
- Accessibility—making books affordable and easy to find
- Community—connecting readers, authors, and publishers in meaningful ways
- Integrity—no algorithms pushing bestsellers over brilliance
Every book we feature is chosen with care, every discount is thoughtfully timed, and every recommendation is made with genuine enthusiasm.
