Hi John,
Thank you for replying and showing interest in addressing this.
This sounds like a good plan, I am going to start a wish-list thread right away on flex-india.

I want to help get as many Flex and AS books as possible onto the shelves in India bookstores. Since I dont live in India, I dont know what books are available now. How about we put up a list on flex-india.org of those books that we want to have available in India? Might be helpful to also list those cities and bookstores where we know AS and Flex books can be found. What do you think?

Deb, the demand is a lot more than the supply in this case … I hope this improves soon

I have got the book for Rs.380 by post :). I think the main cause of not getting this book in india again proves the famous demand and supply theory of economics.I have expressed the same at http://debabrataa.blogspot.com/2007/05/actionscript-30-cookbook-in-india.html

Hope things will improve for us !!

Hi Mrinal,
I have been watching your blog for quite some time now, and u take a pat on your back from my end. Its too good.
I wanted to add one more point in here. If you go on rediff shopping, you will also get AS cook book 3.0 for 475 bucks only.
So those who like to shop from homw this will be a great idea.

Bhavin,
That is one of the main reasons I made this post … hopefully the authors, publishers and Adobe are listening and they would do something about this …. to help promote Flex in India.
