Roland, If you do not get Teresa Albuquerque's book, you could request her to send it to you. Her residence number in Bombay, is 0222- 6499005. If you can't get her there, she could be in Goa, in which case you could contact her on 0832-2273676. She's recently written a fantastic book on the history of Vasai, a far flung western suburb of Bombay, which under the Portuguese rule was called Bacaim. It's worth a read. Reena
