[i had some years of experience marketing books too] my experience was taking yogananda's books to bookstores throughout northern california for years, and i had an srf business card i place india unveiled on paul's desk............. [india-unveiled.com] paul had just (with about a $20,000. budget) promoted "a day in the life of india," via a 6 page glossy flyer for the big buyers in the book world... the two books side by side ______________________ robert's india unveiled the big publisher's a day in the life of india david and goliath while acknowledging robert's efforts and even offering to help robert, for a large fee, (mentioning robert's desparate, green behind the ears situation).....while giving a kind word... he extolled the superiority of a well packaged secular book, a day in the life of india over the deeply inspiring india unveiled india unveiled had a poor quality, though stunningly spiritually serene, cover jacket, and he, we might say ridiculed it paul's words were professional yet blind, i will be the first to admit, that while his words may have missed the mark that day, my words have yet to ever have any vision........... he very kindly gave me about eight books as gifts and he went on with this bankrupt professionalism to lead srf to publish some small books in a hurry, that are somewhat computer generated the idea was that every major bookstore, and every single one of their franchised locations would have a choicely located whole shelf of srf books....once established, these shelves would be a permanent fixture satisfying the reading public's hunger for such for the dwarpara age there were about five that year, prayer, etc enough said save one beautiful note robert's book has gone into it's third printing, having immediately in its first printing of 10,000 copies won the ben franklin gold award it is catagory and won other awards too its inspiration in the world is unmeasured thank goodness for robert arnett Edited by: soulcircle at: 11/12/02 3:40:09 am

Some may quibble that his enthusiasm causes him to get carried away at times, but that´s all that is, a quibble. In fact, his enthuasiasm is infectious, and the photography is stunning. Its success speaks for itself.
