Just Books !!

Pals.
For those of us who prefer a book to the idiot box, here is some tintinnabulation you will like.
While surfing channels on a weekend I was suddenly distrait on NDTV Profit - a channel I would never watch, and I found a show which caught my impervious attention.
The business news channel "NDTV Profit" airs a show called "Just Books!" every Saturday, 12.30 pm. This one is first of its kind with profuse news from the world of books. Brining to you the latest of what's happening between the covers, the show also highlights book exhibitions, book reading sessions, book releasing schedules happening in various cities. It also showcases chosen authors each week.
A discursive show, from when Shobha de`s new book is releasing to why India is becoming a hub for publishing travel guides and how the book lovers united at Calcutta book fair, you find it all here.
In a recent episode they had a session on how the business of cook books works with excerpt interviews with such authors,.Can you believe that there are over 1500 titles that release every year from India alone as Cook Books.
Excerpt interviews with authors, publishing house owners, renowned editors, book distributors will slake your unknown thirst for books.
For those who missed some episodes, they can always catch up on the NDTV website for a subscription fees.
Those who already know about this, hope you liked it as much as I did and those who do not know of it, I have an overbearing pride and presumption to let know of it :)!So where will you be this Saturday afternoon?
