Hi,
In regards to the following thread (http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/index.php/topic,18618.msg185476.html#msg185476), please find the magnum opus on the Pandyan Kingdom by renowned historian, K.A. Nilakanta Sastri (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K._A._Nilakanta_Sastri). This is an outstanding book that has been digitized by the Digital Library of India (http://www.dli.ernet.in/). It is one of several key books in South Indian history that is still used today. It has been made available by www.archive.org in several formats include PDF:
Sastri, K.A. Nilakanta, The Pandyan Kingdom - From the Earliest Times to the Sixteenth Century, Swathi Publications, 1929 (https://archive.org/details/ThePandyaKingdom)
I am not sure if this should be added to the bookshelf as it is a historical book and not a numismatic book. However, what is numismatics if it is not an extension of history and archaeology?
Enjoy,
Ram
Just added to my personal library, Thanks !
You are the expert. If you consider it should be on the bookshelf, just send a copy to izotz by email or Skype. There are already other books there that are not strictly on coins, yet highly useful. The only restriction is rights-free books only.

Thanks Peter. I will certainly do that as I think any numismatic who are interested in this area should have these books. And the best part is that they are legally free...
