Dear friends
Do come and see our books at the World Book Fair. We can’t afford to have a stall of our own – the book fair has hiked up its prices substantially, and we just don’t make enough money back to take a full stand, plus, small publishers have no clout so get relegated to corners and inaccessible places (while the large ones can use money power to get the best locations!). So we’ve taken a considered decision to save money and spend it on publishing the next book!! But meanwhile, if you are visiting, we’d love you to look at our books which are available from our distributors, Penguin Books India and Cambridge University Press. While Penguin will have all our ‘trade’ or general books (i.e. fiction, general non fiction, young adult, children), Cambridge will have our academic books. They’re located at:
Cambridge University Press : Hall No.6, Stall nos 846-59
Penguin Books India :Hall No.6, Stall nos 989 – 1020
Some of our recent highlights include:
Fiction
Seventeen, by Anita Agnihotri. Translated by Arunava Sinha
Bitter Wormwood, by Easterine Kire
The Song Seekers, by Saswati Sengupta
Non Fiction
Our Pictures, Our Words: A Visual Journey Through Women’s Movement, by Laxmi Murthy and Rajashri Dasgupta
