[Last December I made a similar request[1] and was very happy with the recommendations I got from this list.]
I am going to be in Madras early next month. I am looking for recommendations of books to buy that are easily available in India and are either painful or impossible to buy in the US. I am looking for books that came out over the last year or so. So... what are some great books that have recently been published in India that are worth lugging half way around the world? Jaswant Singh's book on Jinnah is already on my list. Thaths [1] http://groups.yahoo.com/group/silk-list/message/28451 -- Homer: Look at these low, low prices on famous brand-name electronics! Bart: Don't be a sap, Dad. These are just crappy knockoffs. Homer: Pfft. I know a genuine Panaphonics when I see it. And look, there's a Magnetbox and Sorny.
