The book is just 350 lanka rupee.Anyone from Europe and US will find the price too low if they send the money in rupee to Buddhist culture centre(less than 3 usd plus postage).Let BPS earn some money or else who are going to buy their books.
I only agree books being put online if the books are out for print for 100 years or so.
