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.

"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. "
