In fact, I don't even yet know how I can get a copy of this book in Goa itself! As you would perhaps know, books from Goa tend to be mostly self-published and, consequently, poorly distributed. It's very difficult to find a copy of a book you want, and often one learns of its existence only once it is out of print. One service that helps is the Other India Bookstore, which stocks all possible books on Goa it can find, and then sells them (by mail order too) after some mark-up on the price. I'm not sure if they have this book yet, as it is only just released.

Confirm your bookings early or miss-out Visit http://www.garcabranca.com for details/booking/confirmation. --- Hi Gabe, I guess if it's a matter that arises primarily because of your non-resident status (and being out of Goa), then you should take it up not just with Ulhas Kamat but with Eduardo Faleiro (the NRI Commissioner). How effective that will be, I cannot say, knowing the vagaries of government -- which works sometimes and sometimes (more often?) doesn't. Someone I know is still trying to get to the bottom of why he was being deprived a visa to visit Goa for many years, without any specific reason being given! On the other hand, if this is a case of a general nature, then obviously it could be unfair to burden an infrastructure set up with a specialist agenda to take it on. It must be said however that the tenancy laws of the 1960s and 1970s (particularly the mundkar, or homestead-tenancy laws) have been overwhelmingly anti-expat in impact. Many reading this would know how it worked: you're based abroad, give that friendly neighbour your home (or part of it) to stay in and look after, and suddenly the laws change and s/he becomes owner with many actual-owners left homeless. It might be nice if we on Goanet could spend some time to put this issue on the agenda, rather than just indulging in infighting and name-calling and spending so much of our energies to make the point of how great Portuguese colonialism was in its civilising mission.
