International Cuisine Conference on Traditional Asian Diet Panaji, Goa, September 2-5, 2007 - http://www.indologygoa.in Online Media Partner: http://www.goanet.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goa-related books tend to go out-of-print very soon. Since the market is so scattered and diffused and globalised in a way, distributing the same is a virtual nightmare. Ask Domnic/Cecil/Broadways about their experiences with "Domnic's Goa", for instance. Hence, stocking the books via alternatives like lulu.com or instabook.net probably makes sense -- but this pushes up costs, because you're working in dollar prices! (What might be more realistic is a print-in-India, distribute-via-surfacemail model, where payments are made in advance.) It would make sense to place a number of copyright-expired books (and those whose publishers are willing to put them out in a sharable format for whatever reason, even if they're out of print and unlikely to be reprinted again) in a copylefted, CreativeCommons.org or other sharable format. Project Gutenberg's [http://gutenberg.net] Distributed Proofreading Project is an amazing model. Dr Teo de Souza, if I recall right, had shown an interest in taking this up not long back.
