Dear Harry,

I have a few books like this. They are read like pothis. The only difference is that instead of loose pages/folios, they are bound, but they have the same orientation.

Dear list members,

Attached is a picture from the on-line guided lessons for Maurer's "The Sanskrit Language". It shows a book with text oriented in the book 90 degrees different from the normal orientation in most western books. I've seen this orienttion in some small devanagari chanting books. I'm curious how common this orientation is, if it is only used for chanting books or if it is a feature of certain publishers or any other information.

Thanks,
Harry Spier
