Dear vraind,

Nowadays the availability of old tamil books is becoming less.

You may search and get your books in 'Martin luther king librauary-kurukulam- chennai, Kannimara librauary, Periyar thidal librauary,egmore Gopalrav librauary -kumbakonam, Saiva-siththantha librauary in madurai.

You can contact -www 'tamilnool.com' (kanthalagam-mount road-chennai) to get you the books.

These are the Thanjavur Tamil University Library, the libraries at the Madurai and Karanthai Tamil Sangams, and the Chennai-based Maraimalai Adigal Library and U.V. Swaminatha Iyer Library. "We have also been approaching individuals and institutions that possess rare collections in print and assure them that all material collected will be returned after micro-filming and cataloguing. "We undertake the work with absolute confidence, because we are committed to this cause," said Sundar. "
