I have a 32nd imprint published 1998, by Rupa & Co, New Delhi.

hello Mohan:

I bought that book last year in Bombay at a rich price of Rs 220.
(paper back).
While i was in India, india today had an excerpt from Naipaul's "Beyond belief", so I bought that too, hardback for Rs 350.00.

Regards,
Satish
