Dear Admin,
It is unfortunate such books become out of print and eventually extinct. This and similar books alone are giving information on our ‘unknown’ history.
These are written with no profit motive, hence once no voluntary buyers, author dont take initiative to re-print at his risk. (esp. at their old age cannot cope with the hazles of organising the reprint.
Somebody, either people like you or if more cooperation is needed sort of a trust must take initiative in finding out such books and reprint with authorisation of author (they will be most happy).

If needed, I will be happy to cooperate in any manner.
How can I get a copy of the said book, even at 10 times higher price?

Dear Admin,

Thank you for intruducing this book to us. As this book is out of print, is there any chance we can have a digitalised version available for us to read ? There are many nasrani history books out of print- eg books of Joseph thekkeadthu, J kollaparambil etc which all contain immense information. The authors have done a great job of research work.

I think we should contact the copy right holders of these books to allow us to share these books. Or at least to make digital copies available to buy at a good price.

Sir,
It is absurd to say that Indian Christians got many advantages by getting contact with Portugese. Portugese came here for business becuase our land was rich cultured. Not showing the love of Christ, instead they expolited us in every way. Finally they destroyed every information regarding the early Christians of Kerala. If the Christians of Kerala had any relation with them, Portugese would have kept them. So please do not express such baseless ideas to become a servant of the Roman Catholicism.

In Christ,
Aji Matthew
