Namaskar, 

My first preference these days is for a soft copy, though till about a couple of years ago I preferred to read hard copies only. I have been generally staying in India, but at this time I am abroad. These days I have to move from one place to another,  as and when the situation demands. The Sushama and the Punyaslokamanjari are very old books and there may not be any copyright involved in transmitting them by photocopying or by scanning. I shall be interested in having a copy each of these in whatever form the same  may be  available. If it is available as hard copy in India only I am agreeable to pay the necessary costs (i.e., the cost of the books plus international postage) for sending me the same.
Regards,Sunil K. Bhattacharya
