- What's special about books from India ?
India produces some of the most beautiful books in the world and for thousands of years has been the centre of spiritual teachers for mankind. India houses the largest English speaking population on earth in one country and is an ancient land with a legacy of spiritual tradition. When I first discovered Indian books I was amazed at the quality and texture of the paper and binding and at the profound spiritual nature that underlies the composure and production of each book. Besides producing books on topics well known in the West such as Reiki or Reflexology or Linguistics, there are many books in our catalogue of Indian origin on rare mystical sciences that will keep even the most avid reader in a world of delight for many moons.
