A few books from our shelves. Take a closer look.

Every new book, on one table.

We started crbooks.lk so readers outside the big book fairs could get the same new releases, at the same fair prices, without the trip. Today we carry around 500 titles from close to 90 Sri Lankan publishers, and we post them to every district.

Our Mission

To get good books into readers’ hands quickly and at a fair price, wherever they live, and to publish new Sri Lankan writers through CR Publications.

From our shelves to yours
