About Us and what we do
Blue Lantern is a dynamic bookselling company based in Sri Lanka.
A key vendor in Sri Lanka of Non-Fiction books, Blue Lantern is primarily a B2B supplier.
Blue Lantern deals extensively with books published in Sri Lanka and also undertakes supplies of these books to foreign libraries in other parts of the world. Moreover we fulfill orders of non-fiction and academic books sourced from elsewhere in the world for our Sri Lankan customers.
Blue Lantern is managed by a fourth generation of booksellers. We can trace our antecedents in the trade back to the mid 1920’s,when our great-grandfather opened his first bookshop on Main Street, Colombo at a time Sri Lanka was still part of the British Empire.
Blue Lantern is the holding organisation of Bookland Bookshop in Colombo 06.
