I was going to message you to thank you for adding me, but there doesn't appear to be any way to do that on this page. Thank you all the same. All the best

Hi Auriel,

Thanks for the offer! But, as I have mentioned in my profile - I do not read ebooks. I understand it might not be convenient for you to send a paperback all the way to India.

Your book looks interesting! I wish you best of luck.

Regards,
Supratim
