The acronym stands for Lawyer’s Book Stall.  A primarily Assamese publisher (a language from the Brahmaputra valley of India) across genres, it was established by a lawyer who abandoned his profession to launch a book shop and publishing concern in 1942.  Since its birth till now, LBS has published not only the Who’s-Who of Assamese literature, but also mentored hundreds of rookie Assamese writers, out of which some later entered the exclusive annals of 20^th century’s great Indian writers.    

LBS is in the A-Z of the book trade, with focus on literary works.  Although also publishing in English (primarily Indological books with regional themes) its bottom line is Assamese, with over 400 titles currently in print and a backlist that runs into thousands, spanning across genres and sub-genres.  The house is currently working towards breaking new grounds through e-publishing and selling of rights in other languages.
