Nilkhet

Nilkhet (Bengali: নীলক্ষেত) is a neighbourhood in Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh.

[3] It contains several dozen shops that deal in used books and magazines, especially English-language material published in the West.

The Nilkhet is regularly patronized by the city's English-language readers, who go there in search of foreign books, journals and comics that are either unavailable elsewhere or only available new at a prohibitive price.

[6] It also has many shops that provide auxiliary services for students, such as photocopying, word-processing, and book-binding.

Indeed, "photocopying at Nilkhet" is a common rite of passage for nearly all students of nearby universities during their undergraduate and postgraduate years.
