I am going to boast what did I bought yesterday, would appreciate if you could all give a run down list as Sankar did.
1. Indraya Gandhi (Today's Gandhi) - Jeyamohan - Thamizhini Publications 2. Dalai Laama - Muruganantham - Vikatan - I know bit late.. 3. Che Guevara - Ajay Bala - Vikatan 5. Perunthalaivar Kamarajar - S. K. Murugan - Vikatan 6. Sujatha(oughts) - Vikatan
I couldn't get Venkat's Kanchi Tharagai as the queue @ Vanathi was big, would have taken at least 30 mins, had to rush, will buy it later. Couldn't get Pirates as they didn't have it (Sold out?).
Went after a long time. Thanks to BAPASI for organizing this big event and did it very well. All stalls had crowds and selling well.
The complete mythology collection from Amar Chitra Katha (from Giri Trading Stall). 73 books costs Rs.3000. Then picked up 'Sundara Kandam' of both Valmiki and Kamba ramayanam from 'Gita Press' stall - Total cost Rs.100. They really amaze me with high quality books at amazing rates.
Had to take Sivarams help to carry the books as the ACK collection was too heavy.
Wanted to buy a book, but did not as i could not carry.
But again read that, DK held a meeting last week for two days, to thrash this book.... So thought it should have real substance and today when my neighbor said he is going to book fair, I asked him to get this book.
pathipagam. Cost Rs. 425 Earlier in 2010 this was published in English as 'Breaking India?' by the same authors and now its translated into Tamil by Aravindan Neelakandan.
I bought 1. Nataraja by C. Sivaramamuthi (more excited to buy Nataraja) 2. Vijayanagara Paintings by C. Sivaramamuthi and 3. Set of 5 books about coins collection by Era. Krishnamoorthy (dinamalar)
After visiting book fair, if you are running having financial crisis def'ly Mr. Kalki will help you. Each and every one has printed PS and selling like hot cakes. Those who are buying PS from other publishers need to be very careful as there is high chance of missing portion.
Also, after visiting Vikatan press, I felt paying additional amount for 5 water colour picture on each volume is not justifiable. Was these water colour pictures are the original by gr8 Manian or later addition by others?

If you still think that the book is not worth the price, I don't know what to say.
I bought two volumes of Cholargal in Delhi Book Fair in 2010 December!! The copies I bought looked like antiques though.. how about yours.. are they a new print new edition or does it have an old book feel?
I have to yet read all of it.. but when i bought it I thought I bought the last surviving copies haha.. Congrats to you! -Narasimhan
Need a favour - do you have the Hanuman vs Bhima volume - if possible can you just scan the inside ( not the cover) showing him trying to lift hanuman's tail for me
