[INDOLOGY] new publication

[David and Nancy Reigle]

A week after this announcement, this book is still not available at Harvard
University Press (you cannot pre-order it there), nor is it available at
Amazon.com. They both still show July and August publication dates,
respectively.

Best regards,
