If you send him a few thousand (or is it million?) pounds, I'm sure
he'll restore your lost advantage--he's just that kinda guy! I mean
God.

Group,
The B Jain's Indian version, and student version are printed in very
poor paper so it does not last long but for a student it is good as
after they study they will have to buy another book as what ever quality
the paper be rough use in the student life will make it useless. The
book if some body ship to another country u will not like it as it is
very very bad quality.

I was thinking that only B Jain publishes the homoeopathic books . Here
the store keep only the B jain books other publishers do not have book i
the local stores but it is available in other cities.

Croyden is only populated by 'alleged residents'!
This is a well known fact.
Allegedly.

'I think there is a lot of confusion about 'illegal' versions of Indian books. This is understandable. For instance, Indian versions of Synthesis have in the past been actively marketed and imported by Archibel in Europe. One minute they are legal with a special hologram inside the cover and then the European publishers decide to stop allowing Indian editions for Europe. A total mess. Complete confusion in the market place.
Only a few homeopathic books in India get printed there without the author's permission. Robin Murphy asked IBPS to print his Repertory for instance. A lot of people seem to imagine it is a complete pirate - It is not. The problems generally arise when AGENTS export them and this is almost 100% certain to happen.
Financially prudent publishers eg Beaconsfield would not dream of doing Indian deals and for this reason you won't find Indian versions on Amazon etc. I believe it is sometimes greed for a few extra pennies from overseas publication that gets people into a copyright mess.

I agree that B Jain aren't actively promoting the Indian versions of current books outside of their allocated territory, but other Indian booksellers do. It's then up to the retailer as to wether they buy them or not. I have always declined because, as I mentioned before, as did Dana, it's not fair on the author.

All the oldies are open territory, no longer any copyright etc and fortunately the Indian publishers have kept these alive, there's no problem with them.

I think the part of Croydon mentioned is down the dodgy end of Diagon Alley - not a nice place.

Dear Minutusers
I have tried to post but I have quite sensibly been banned from the
list. So here I am under yet another email address. It looks like my
idea of illegaly printing all the popular homeopathic books was not a
good move anyway. I just cant move all those books around with my
suspect back which has been weakened by years of carting all my money
around. You lot just read too many huge books- so I will leave all the
selling to Minerva, Dana et al and let them frequent the Osteopath.
However I am pleased to announce that I will be printing a special
limited version of Synthesis 12.1 in an exciting new format.
Yes folks! Synthesis 12.1 will be the first ever INVISIBLE book on the
market. It therefore weighs absolutely nothing and neither you nor I
will get a bad back from carrying it around. All you need to read it
is a pair of my special Nhojeopathic glasses available for only $10000.
The book is a giveaway $5. Please note that 1 cent for every sale will
be donated to charity to my Kaftan fund. My current one is getting a
bit worn at the edges.
Order now and be quick before I get banned again.
Why pay more? Please order via the website.
PS I have moved and changed my name.
