Remember the story of the crane and the wolf? The wolf inviting the crane for dinner and provided the food in a flat plate which the ccrane cannot eat with a long and sharp beak? I don't support illegal copying of books, as someone who belong to the newspaper industry, but if the question is accessibility, why not the esteemed Minister of State for External Affairs can do it? After all, he was the former UN under secretary and surely he would have learnt of acccessiblity issues, is it not?

Tharoor is one of the easily accessible minister in delhi. try and find one such agency who would distribute the soft copy only to the blind community. nisha On Wed, Oct 7, 2009 at 8:42 AM, Prashant Verma <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear all, > This latest book is available on www.bookbole.com. > You will recall that it has been written by Shashi Tharur and Shaharyar > Khan and was published recently.
