This is the new web site for Michael Thomas and Pipal Press. Please note the address: www.pipalpress.com.

The existing blog http://pipalpress.blogspot.co.uk/  which I started four years ago has served me very well and I will run it in parallel for the time being. It has had hits from over 50 countries and generated a lot of interest. However I now want to widen the scope and coverage.

The main objectives are:

• Greater clarity about the publications which now include photographs.
• Easier access and payment methods. Publications are not available from Amazon and other discount sellers.
• Most importantly I wish to generate a dialogue with others who are interested in this type of subject matter, mainly obscure parts of India but widening to Europe.
• The posts in the blog will continue in the section marked ‘Rolling News and Comment’. Viewers are invited to leave comments which can be seen by others.
• The ‘Get in Touch’ section gives direct access to me. Please feel free to offer comments, suggestions, ask questions, give interesting references etc.
  

I hope you enjoy exploring.
