Authors Know Global Tooactual email below

• My book is in the final stages.  I have spoken
  with IBPD-India in regards to printing the book
  and sell the book in India.  Sanjeev believes he
  can sell 500 books through his distribution
  system.  I am also interested in selling the book
  in Bahrain at least, and maybe throughout the
  Middle East and parts of Far East.   
•  
• After the book is published, book cover designed,
  etc., can I sell or contract with IBPD to print
  the book.  
•  
• Can I contract with them to print and sell the
  book in India and ME?  I want to use your
  distribution system in the US and any place else
  you have a market.   
•  
• I am planning to attend and be an 'author in
  booth' at the Texas Librarian show in Austin in
  April, 2011.  It may be nice to use this lower
  cost printing for the hard copies both in the
  States and elsewhere.

  potential readers.Think about your countrymen
  living abroad. You do NOT have to translate to
  reach them.
