[INDOLOGY] An Upaniṣadic Reader

[Jonathan Silk]

This may not be directly relevant, but when I published a book from
University of Hawaii they immediately--without asking me--sold the rights
to Motilal, who of course changed the title (so, I think, they can sell it
to libraries who are not paying attention). But they reprinted the rest of
the book as is, and as far as it went, it was legal (though the result was
meant to be sold only in South Asia, but well, we all know how that goes)
