Can any one in India look for this book? Thanks
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->"The Age Of Sankara" : By T.S.Narayana Sastry : He was a B.A., B.L., High Court Vakil, Madras. He had collected, and had with him editions of Puranas and an ancient manuscript edition of Matsya Purana in Tamil Grandha
Script, and the Kaliyuga Raja Vrittanta, a rare ancient historical treatise still unpublished , (Till 1956)
The material discovered and unearthed, and presented to us, is really invaluable for the reconstruction of true history of Bharat. The enormous cost of his researches may be estimated from the regrettable fact that after his
demise in 1917, his residence at Madras was sold for Rs. 1,25,000 to repay for the debts he had contracted, with the interest thereon, for acquiring the library and other equipment he needed for his researches..

Will it be possible to trace and obtain this book. It must be difficult. But the effort will not be a waste.
