I am writing to inform readers that Vol. 2 Nos. 51-100 of the popular Gist Series is now published and available for sale at 250 rupees a copy.

Vidya Jyoti Sir Arthur C. Clarke has written thus about Vol. 1 of the series: ‘I congratulate you on this book and hope it has the widest possible distribution. It is exactly the sort of thing that all young people should read to give them a wider understanding of the world and its history. I sincerely hope that the Government and the Educational Authorities take advantage of your excellent work. All good wishes.’

I am writing to persuade an institution or a philanthropist to sponsor the distribution of the book to schools. Sinhala and Tamil translations will be published. Please write to me at 6, Raymond Road, Nugegoda or telephone 853980/816150 for further details.
