I just got myself some new books with my office annual book allowance.
I would like to start reading them all at once because they look so very delicious (flipping through the pages I read snippets that make my mouth water) and I am greedy.
I got:
The Book That Changed My Life: Interviews with National Book Award Winners and Finalists
Edited by Diana Osen
Publisher: Modern Library Paperbacks
Sixpence House: Lost in a Town of Books
By Paul Collins
Publisher: Bloomsbury
The Child That Books Built
By Francis Sufford
Publisher: Picador
The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop
By Lewis Buzbee
Publisher: Graywolf Press
The Art of Eating
By M.F.K Fisher (My friend at the bookstore said: "Her initials are rather rude, don't you think?" I never noticed before, but yes, they are, rather!)
Publisher: Wiley

Hello. My name is Priti Singh and I’m a Research Scholar and Writer from New Delhi. I write to you as the author of the coffee table book “The Islands and Tribes of Andaman and Nicobar.” I happened to come across your site and wanted to bring to your notice the publication of such an exquisite, informative and engaging book. The book of course is sui generis in the sense that it is the first of its kind on the place and unlike a regular glossy. It is extremely exhaustive - detailing every aspect of this very unique archipelago which in all probability is the last bastion of primeval mankind and one of the few places left on earth that remain un-spoilt by man’s rapacity.
The islands were devastated by the Dec. 2004 tsunami that ravaged large parts of Southeast Asia. The book serves to spread a good word about the place and its people and goes a step further in trying to do its bit to help revive tourism there (as 60% of the island’s population is directly/indirectly dependent on the industry) that was badly hit by the catastrophe.
“The Islands and Tribes of Andaman and Nicobar” illustrates and showcases all the wondrous facets of the archipelago and contains some very rare archival images and documents that give it an engaging edge. The book has been well received and features in the Nov.2006 issue of the Incredible India magazine. The foreword of the book has been written by the world renowned wildlife photographer Mr. Rajesh Bedi (whose brilliant images of the place and its aboriginal tribes form an important part of the book).
If interested, you could go to www.prakashbooks.com or alternatively contact me or Mr. Gaurav Sabharwal, Director, Sales and Marketing - Prakash Books for further details. Ph. 91-11-23247062-65 Fax. 91-11-23246975
Looking forward to a favourable response.
Thank you and Regards,
Priti Singh
