Where can I get these two books from?

[Sathyaish]

I have been trying to buy these two books, but all the stores I have
checked in my state do not have either of the two in stock. I stay in
New Delhi, India and have tried about 23 distributors, dealers and
publishers. The books I am looking for are:

(1) Essential .NET Vol 1, The Common Language Runtime - Don Box with
Chris Sells (Pearson Education).

(2) Applied Microsoft .NET Framework Programming - Jeffry Ritcher
(Microsoft Press).

I don't want to order them from Amazon or any other overseas, online
bookstore because that would be way too expensive. Any Indians out
here who've bought this book, where did you buy them from? Are the
South-East Asian Editions for these books available, in the first
place? Would you know of any Indian bookstore that I can buy these
books from, online or offline? I checked at
http://www.landmarkonthenet.com, but it doesn't have them.

try www.firstandsecond.com
they have indian editions (the cheaper editions) for any book that does have
an indian edition published. Just a couple of days back I looked up the
jeffrey richter book and they do have the indian edition for Rs. 600. Since
you are shipping in India itself, the shipping is not very high either.

hope that helps..
Imran.

You can get them at Galgotias Book Shops, there is one in CP and one in
Sector 18, Noida from where i have bought these books.

Thanks, Imran. First And Second indeed do have both the books. That
solves my problem. Thanks again.
