It is supposed to hit the market by July 30th. However prepublication offer is available. Those who reserve their copy under prepublication scheme can save nearly one third of the price.

Kerala: A Poem in Green and Gold is written by K. Jayakumar, noted poet, lyricist and author. A widely traveled writer of eclectic interests and wide ranging experience, Jayakumar has several books to his credit.

They include Rhapsody of Greenscape, A Story of Cultural Diffusion, A Many Splendoured Culture, The Enchanted World of Music and Movement, The Festive Spirit and Kerala Today. Details of the book are available at www.indiavideo.org/keralabook. It is also available at www.invismultimedia.com.

According to Prof. Dr. U. R. Ananthamurthy who wrote foreword for this book, "here is a book that has dared to stray away, in spirit and language, from the primrose paths of tourism to capture the enigmatic beauty of Kerala in a strikingly truthful manner. Often books on travel and tourism dabble on chimerical surface attractions and fail to make deep studies of the land, its people and their culture." (ANI)
