About my libraryLast updated: June 11, 2009
I am still in the process of entering my books and journals. Almost done (except for a few hundred journals and several boxes in my mother’s basement). The next step will be to add the contents of all edited books/journals (a few are already there (in the comment field)). Then more tags, more links, more explanation, more information... (and more frustration with LibraryLet’s Sing The Beta Forever Mantra So We Don’t Have To Take Care Of The BugsThing

I'm looking for the book "Peul" by R. Labatut et alii, with cassettes. Please, let me know if there is any way to get a copy of the cassettes.
Thank you
Riccardo

Thanks for your reply, and I'm sorry it took so long for me to get back with you.
Krishnamurti's Grammar is indeed very hard to come by. I've tried rare book dealers, OUP branches in England, India, and the US, and have probably spent a good ten hours searching online since I first started looking for this book about a year ago. While I do have access to a copy at the local university library and could photocopy it, I've developed a sort of Ahab-like obsession with hunting down an original.
I completely understand your unwillingness to sell your own copy. There are a number of books in my own collection that I wouldn't want to even consider selling.
If ever you change your mind about this, I'd be willing to pay you $75 plus shipping, so let's just say $80 total, assuming the book is in good condition (binding intact, no pages missing, etc.). If you have a PayPal account I could send it that way. If not, I could send a personal check or money order.
By the way, if you're into Telugu language books, An Intensive Course in Telugu by P. Ramanarasimham was just published within the last year. (OK, technically it was republished from an edition that was supposedly published a few years back, but which I had never heard of before.) While it is a hardcover edition, the binding is quite cheap. The content, however, appears good. I haven't really delved into it, yet, as I'm focusing on learning Hindi, now, but when I do get around to Telugu, I'm sure this will be one of my more heavily-used resources. Last I knew, you could buy it for around $40 or $50 through either Alibris or Abebooks.
