Hi guys,

just went through the collection of books in various sections, and all i can say is that apart from the contemporary collection, the collection of books from the "Good ol days" is the best i have come across so far. The collection stirs up emotions inside that take a book lover or a random reader like myself on a very sweet, Nostalgic magic carpet ride. I have not been able to spend too much time on the site, just a mere glance but I'm sold and convinced that you guys got a regular customer in me. Thanks a lot for this MUCH needed dose of nostalgia, and the best part being the convenience...cheers to that and i hope to see the collection increase.

About Book
In the autumn of 1924, the archaeologist John Marshall made an announcement that dramatically altered existing perceptions of South Asia's antiquity: the discovery of 'the civilization of the Indus valley'. Marshall's news conveyed one of the most monumental discoveries in the history of civilization, on the same scale as the findings of Heinrich Schliemann (who unearthed Troy) and Arthur Evans (who dug out Minoan Crete). The Troy and Crete stories have been well told. But a detailed, archivally rich and accessible narrative of the people, processes, places and puzzles that led up to Marshall's proclamation on the Indus civilization has, like the civilization itself, long remained buried. Now, for the first time in this book, we have the whole story, enchantingly told.
