Thanks to the Goan-owned Focus Bookshop in Bangalore (Bengaluru), and the Karnataka Goan Association, we've managed to get across some of Goa-related books there and hope to have it up for sale soon.
If all goes well, some of these titles (published by others too) should be available at the Karnataka Goan Association Members' Day on Jan 26, 2012 at Catholic Club, Bangalore.
