Thank you very much! Feb 7, 2008

Thank you very much, Niraja!

The link is very nice for me to know what have been published in Germany. Some publishers in my country are interested in German publication and they have been asking me for sources. With the link you provide, I am more aware of the business now. Thank you!

Although I do not do literary translations, I just wanted to commend you on sharing this with the translating community.
