  • HI

    It is not one shop you can go and buy. Lot of private lending libraries, old waste paper mart in around chennai, I am collecting these novels.

    In fact writer Udhayanan, my friend Nagaraj and Sankar Raman helped me lot. I have to say my thanks to them.

    My plan is in three phase.

    Phase - I collect as much as historical novels 90% completed
    Phase - II Make it them in word file - 10% completed
    Phase - III give this to tamil world - Govt lending library, website
    after getting the proper approval from the writter.

    The total budget is 20 Lakhs. Already 5 dtp operators start typing / converting the available rare novels in word format. Some are already published in chennailibrary.com. Before 2012, you can get almost 75% of the novels in the website.

    Come and join the Project work by giving your helping hand.
  • Hi Sundar,
    Many kudos to your efforts. I am sure that Tamil readers will be benefited and
    many rare books will be available for reading.
  • Hi,

    if you are in chennai.can u tell me some pointers, means in which shop u collected this novel and where can we get it.Moreover is it possible to get udhayanan novels in any shop.

    Waiting for you response eagerly.
  • Dear Sundar Sir

    It is a great feat you are doing
    One humble suggestion..

    It might make sense to have a multipage scanner like snapscan which can do many pages in a go and convert it into pdfs ...I found one of the scanned book from you having props and all..It also does i in both sides and takes 3 minutes for 50 pages.

    Infact I am almost tempted to undo the binding of my 50s edition PS with Vinu pictures and scan it for posterity.

    If I can stop one heart from breaking,I shall not live in vain;
    If I can ease one life the aching,Or cool one pain,
    Or help one fainting robin, Into his nest again,
    I shall not live in vain.
