Tales of Stealth for the Curious One

Khawar Sohail Siddiqui

Dr Siddiqui and I have been friends for more than a decade. He is responsible for making available to us the collection of the late Allahdad Khan of Peshawar.

He has earlier published two books with me. This is his third book. He writes

My first storybook, Fact & Fiction, Parts I, Fiction was published in Feb 2023.
This is my second storybook containing short stories based on animal fairy tales, science fiction, supernatural, murder mysteries, and an action thriller.
The first two short stories are about animal fairy tales and continue from the first two parts in the previous book, Fact & Fiction, Part 1. Both parts (The Arrival of Hominids, part 3, and The Rise of Hominids, part 4) are co-written with my daughter, a mass media, communication, and marketing graduate (Aiman Siddiqui). Both stories have a great deal of drama and humor, along the lines of an animated movie. People of all ages, especially children, will be amused reading them. As in previous parts, both fairy tales are lavishly illustrated with rock paintings and drawings of animals.  
The remaining 14 short stories are thrillers and are based on science fiction, supernatural, and murder mystery themes with unpredictable twists. I hope readers of all ages will love reading my second book as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Color interior and cover, US Letter size, 156 pages, many illustrations.

Early Hindi Film Advertisements II (1940-43)

by N Ramaswamy and Prof Surjit Singh

Until recently, the only way to access old newspapers and magazines was to visit their offices, go through many hurdles and answer dozens of questions to actually see the old collections. Mercifully, most had been converted to microfilm for the convenience of the researchers.

Thanks to the advent of the internet and the latest digital technology, quite a few newspapers and magazines have been digitized and are available without visiting the dusty old archives. However, most of the digital collections are available only after paying hefty fees.

There are some silver lines among the clouds. Many big companies like Google and Microsoft have undertaken a massive effort to digitize every available print material and put it on the internet for free. Many world libraries, associations, museums, special collections are doing the same. A huge repository of such items in the Internet Archive.
In this book, we present more than 720 images of early talkies ads. We had a lot of fun working on them, to capture them and making them suitable for print, organizing them. We hope that you will also enjoy this peek into the early history of the talkies.

This book, second in the series, covers 1940-43, images of more than 720 film ads.

Paperback, 6 by 9, 207 pages, black and white.
