About Us
Crossword aims to be a point of cultural and social interaction where authors and poets hold court, where children are regaled, where people gravitate to be informed, to be entertained, even enlightened. The name embodies the vision of Crossword as a place and space for people who seek information, knowledge or just the pleasure of reading. Crossword stocks the widest range of Books – Toys – Stationery – Magazines, Gifting and Hardware & Accessories
With its large children’s section and its focus on making the store a friendly, safe, fun-filled place, Crossword attracts many families who normally don’t think of visiting bookstores. The unobtrusive helpful staff assists customers in finding the right books or gifts for the right occasion. Facilities like the Crossword Gift Vouchers, the friendly ‘Return, Exchange & Refunds’ policy, the Cafes within the stores and the unique store experience make it easy and enjoyable for customers to shop at Crossword. Over 4.5 lacs loyal customers are rewarded through the Crossword Book Rewards Program with points, discounts, exclusive discounts & offers and more. ‘eWords’, a monthly e-newsletter with reviews of new books, news about in store events and bestseller lists, is currently mailed to these Members.
Among the numerous writers who have visited the store are Jeffrey Archer, Jeff Kinney, Sir V S Naipaul, Arundhati Roy, Vikram Chandra, Vikram Seth, Kiran Nagarkar, Kiran Desai, Amitav Ghosh, Shashi Tharoor, Shobhaa De, Charles Handy, Ricardo Semler and Jack Canfield.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Crossword has so many books one may like, pertaining to all genres. Not just books but also craft items and paints along with your for kids. I could also spot laptop bags and small compact bags. The shop is located just at the entry of Cyber Hub and has many items to gift as well. It's a good place for readers and those who like stationery. Many imported stationery items are available. 4 on 5 because everything is good, however the prices are a little too high for a conscious buyer. It was great to spend time there.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is the only crossword in entire Gurugram and, fortunately it is located in DLF hub where parking is no problem. Charges for parking are rs.50. The shop is conveniently located in the left side lobby of DLF hub and can be easily sighted near the north side exit. The books are neatly arranged in shelves as per categories, and the staff is well uniformed and well mannered. We purchased a couple of books and there is no discount or any scheme going at any time of the year. They also do not offer bags for the books so if you are planning to buy several of them, its better to carry bag from home. Besides books, crossword also sells lots of merchandise like key chains, electronic items, USB based items. Overall, a great experience.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is situated in the heart of Gurgaon They have a great selection of all genres of books. Also, some really impressive coffee table books. Stationery and their pen collection is quite good too. They have some high end fountain pen brands as well. This is one store that still makes you want to physically go to a book store, and not just order things online. I hope the internet does not consume them as well.
