If anyone would like to purchase (at cost + postage + packaging) a set
of the following 'in print' books from Goa, do let me know. Recently I
sent a package of these books to Bosco (in Canada) and it cost Rs
3650, all inclusive, air-mail ... registered and delivery in approx
15-20 days.

Snapshots of Indo-Portuguese History - I Pangim (Vasco Pinho)
Snapshots of Indo-Portuguese History - II Rise and Demise of Estado da
India (Vasco Pinho)

Lived Heritage, Shared Space - The Courtyard House of Goa (Angelo
Costa Silveira)
Of Umbrellas, Goddesses and Dreams (Robert S Newman)
Sucessful Goan Home Wines (Edwin Saldanha)
The Career and Legend of Vasco Da Gama (Sanjay Subrahmanyam)
The Many Faces of Sundorem - Women in Goa (Dr Fatima Gracias)

Masci - the Man Behind the Legend (Odette Mascarenhas)
Parmal - Volume 6 (2007)

Goa of Sun 'N Sand (Valerie Rodrigues)
Times Food Guide 2008

To know more about these books, google for them. You should find
details online.
Actual costs may vary (a little, though not significantly, from the
figure above), depending on postal rates, books and discounts
available from booksellers.
As far as I'm concerned, this is not a commercial service. Am trying
to see how we could leverage possibilities within the postal system,
cyber-created communication possibilities, and the booming Goa book
publishing scene (by linking it up with a potential diaspora market)
to possibly create a win-win situation. --FN

PS: It is only possible to send across 'in print' and 'easy to locate'
books, for obvious reasons.

Hello there Sr. Fred.,

I am a vivid reader (of books in general) and of course of your 
e-bulletin/news.


Yes, I would be very interested in having the full set of boks mentioned. 
Could I pay through my credit card or would you prefer bank draft ..  either 
to suit you.


I come from Margao, and my mum from Saligao.  These books will only help me 
and any body else wanting to go through it to enlighten themselves, or 
(never say) may be you might be contacted  for another order.


Thanks for your assistance.

Higino Miranda

Hey Frederick,

Trust you are well. Although not very active, I do read most of the Goan 
news coming in including Britto net.
I'm going to Goa in August as usual. I would like to have a look at the hard 
copies of the books highlighted in coulor.


If it is what I'm looking for I will surely go for it.

Cheers
Reginaldo

Hi FN

A quick suggestion on saving postage for books sent abroad -  PRINTED MATTER 
AIR MAIL REGISTERED POST  is an effective and cost saving postal service for 
books. Maybe, you are already using this - if not , do try it out. Saves a 
lot of money for book buyers!!! Best wishes,
