The Rails book is published by a very small company (Pragmatic Bookshelf) that has no international presence at all. The physical books are printed by O'reilly -- which has a much, much smaller international footprint than Pearson (Prentice Hall's parent company). Which makes me wonder, do you see Indian editions of any O'reilly books? Our contract is very specific about the ways in which Prentice Hall can produce lower-cost versions of the book for emerging markets like India. So, while I can't promise anything, I think the probability of a Indian edition of "Rapid Web Applications with TurboGears" is significantly more likely than "Agile Web Development with Rails." They key will be convincing PH that there is enough Indian market to cover the printing costs. --Mark Ramm -- Mark Ramm-Christensen email: mark at compoundthinking dot com blog: www.compoundthinking.com/blog --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
