I've already been enquiring about such books in India and Sri Lanka,
and plan to do the same for Burma and perhaps even Cambodia. This is
all part of a project of mine to compile a list of printed Pali texts
on the Pali language, availability, and how to get them. There would
be a resource page for anyone interested in acquiring such books. But
I'm afraid it's not going to be easy because of the language barrier
and the rarity of such books. I will keep working on it though but it
will take time.

To look for titles and their publishers, the online catalogues of
major university libraries are quite helpful. I don't know if there
are any such for Thai universities. I found out that the National
Library of Thailand does not have an online catalogue of their books
and even if they did I probably couldn't use it because it'll probably
be all in Thai!

I really appreciate your effort and hope you will continue to be on
the lookout for anyone who may know quite a bit more about such books
in Thailand. There's no hurry.

Best wishes,
Jim
