My book got ready just in time for the Dehradun Litfest.
If you like my articles, I am sure you will also like the book. It has 46 chapters and some 30 b/w photos in the text. I will copy the table of content after the links.
It’s available in India for Rs 499. Signed copies are also available.
For a gift pack of 5 there is a 20 per cent discount (separate link)
Since it is not yet available on Amazon.com (it is coming i am told), the publisher will send it abroad, too. Please contact adm@garudabooks.com
In India, it is now available with the publisher Garuda Prakashan, on Flipkart and on Amazon.in.
