Default Julie from INDIA

Dear Sir/Madam,


I would like to introduce myself as Julie .k, working professionally
as a Technical programmer in a reputed private Organization in India
and have identified your E-mail address in a refined search for
subject specialists.

As an information professional, I have a huge collection of E-books on
a host of subjects which have been appreciated as very useful and
informative by most of my clientele which includes Academicians,
Scientists, Research Scholars and Students.

To save valuable time of a subject specialist like you, I have made a
sincere effort to compile a list of E - books which may of interest to
you and am herewith enclosing the same.

I would greatly appreciate for your opinion on the collection listed
and any valuable suggestions for improving the quality. I would
consider it a pleasure and privilege in providing you any specific
information on request. I would be grateful if you could kindly let me
know the E-books you desire and your complete mailing/postal address
so that I could send them to you in the form of CD/DVD. As my motto is
to serve the scholastic community, I am forced to charge postal
charges and would be grateful if you could kindly consider to
encourage me by paying / donating any amount of money you consider
fair to meet the expenses and overheads, which would go a long way to
help me continue such services. I would also be grateful if you could
also refer my services to any of your friends who could use such
information.

To serve you better, I would be happy if you could kindly consider
giving me a feedback or any suggestion s



Thank you & warm regards

Yours faithfully,

Julie K.

Julie,

What your are doing is, of course, illegal in the United States.
However I don't know what the status of American or other
copyrights is in India. Perhaps it is legal there to ignore the
copyright and reproduce the works without payment to the
copyright holders.

I sympathize with Indian and other third world students, many
of whom have no way to get the hard currency needed to buy
these books from legal sources. In some ways I see what
you are doing as a service to them. But American or European
buyers who pay you for these books are violating the laws of
their countries.

I wish that weren't true. I wish there were other ways to fund
the huge costs of writing and publishing these books besides
selling them for $100 US or more each. But at the current
time, there aren't.

I'm curious to hear what other people think about this.

Alan

Many publishers of university level textbooks in science and engineering
print special editions for sale in Third World countries. These books
are generally printed on thinner paper, have paper rather than hard covers
and sell for a small fraction of what the regular edition goes for in
developed countries. I've seen quite a few of these that grad students
bring with them when they come to study here in Canada. A book costing
e.g. $75 in Canada might have an edition selling for $5 in India. From
the point of view of the publisher, they know that they can't sell them
for the full price in poor countries, and all the editorial expense has
already been paid, so it makes sense to get the many extra sales at such
very low prices since only the low cost of printing and distributing them
in the target coutnry is involved.

There was a bit of a flap recently about people selling these books into
affluent countries via the Internet, but I don't know how it was resolved
if, indeed, it was.

When I was in India about 20 years ago, I bought a regional flora (4
volumes) at about 40 rupees (ca. USD4.00 at the time) per volume, on
the recommendation of a local botanist. It cost me a few dollars to
post them back home; but if I had bought them from here (Oz) the price
from the Indian publishers would have been USD40.00/volume plus post.
Their logic at the time was that the "exchange rate" for overseas
sales should be 1 rupee = USD1 because those foreigners can afford it.

Cheers, Phred.

Hi Julie,

I shaw your posting of the list of the e-books. They are really
informative. Dosen't matter wheather it is leagel or illegal. I
believe in rights of the people to read. Great to know you are a
researher.

I am a free-lancer botanist from Nepal and working on a local flora in
my personal fund. We have a team of three persons and have the
collection of around 10,000 herbarium specimens covering about 2,000
species, around 5,00 living plants on pots and controlled green house
and around 3,000 photographs (in celluloid medium) and around 1,000
(in digital medium).

In our last visit to our study area, we found a new kind of Salvia
which to our surprise was a climber. We don't have any knowledge about
the Salvia being climber. We think either it is some emmigrant species
(may be invasive) or some unnoticed species which may become a new
record. If you know about the climbing Salvia, please tell me or you
can suggest me the book also.

Sajan
