This is the ultimate shopping avenue for the suburbs in bombay. Located in Bandra, linking road has it all, from department stores like Shoppers Stop, Amarsons and KBN to street vendors selling shoes, bags and clothes.
Some of the stores along this avenue are Niketown, Addidas, Benetton, Levi's, Arrow Shirts etc. etc.
What to buy: I would suggest doing a bit of comparison shopping before committing to anything. Since mostly everything is close to each other make good use of this fact by window shopping and then once you've seen all there is you can make the best choices.
What to pay: Depending on where you shop.

Books are very cheap in India. Strand has one of the largest selections of reading lists available in bombay. It isn't a huge store as such but they can get books in within a few days time. It's worth a visit if your an avid reader or have just lost your lonely planet.
What to buy: Hardcover Classics are a steal.
What to pay: Whereas anywhere else in the world you'd pay upwards of $20 for a copy of Moby Dick, expect to pay no more than $8, and the quality is just as good if not better.
