Talks with Sri Aurobindo

Volume 1

10 December 1938 – 14 January 1941

7 April 1940

Nirodbaran: X wants to bring out a selection from your books and he corresponded with his English publishers, asking if they would publish it. They have said that such a book would have a very small sale in England but they wanted to know whether it would sell in India.

Sri Aurobindo: A selection is not much use at present. It may have some sale in India but not as much as a whole book on one theme. Selections are all right if one’s books are widely read and appreciated. Selections from either a popular book or a popular writer would have a good sale.
