This reference book provides a bibliography of all periodicals and newspapers written wholly or partly in a South Asian language, published anywhere in the world. These collections, held by libraries in the United Kingdom, are unique and cannot be matched by libraries in Europe, the United States, or even in South Asia itself. The bibliography contains over 2500 titles in the 15 major languages of South Asia, including Sinhalese, Sanskrit and various minor languages as well as Pashto, Persian and Arabic titles published in South Asia and Afghanistan. The periodicals are listed by language and alphabetically by title within each language. The bibliography gives the title, place of publication, issuing body (if noncommercial), frequency, and the holdings of individual libraries.

This is a major bibliographic research guide designed to assist scholars of South Asian history (India, Pakistan, and Nepal) in finding materials relevant to their research. It offers an annotated and indexed list of over 5,000 articles from 351 periodicals and 26 books of collected essays and encyclopedias. It lists 341 English and bilingual English-vernacular newspapers, and 251 vernacular papers published in South Asia, all with pertinent information. It also provides an extensive unified list of dissertations for degrees in modern South Asian history from South Asian, European, and American universities. About 3,100 of the entries are annotated. Originally published in 1968. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

The History of the Book in South Asia covers not only the various modern states that make up South Asia today but also a multitude of languages and scripts. For centuries it was manuscripts that dominated book production and circulation, and printing technology only began to make an impact in the late eighteenth century. Print flourished in the colonial period and in particular lithographic printing proved particularly popular in South Asia both because it was economical and because it enabled multi-script printing. There are now vibrant publishing cultures in the nation states of South Asia, and the essays in this volume cover the whole range from palm-leaf manuscripts to contemporary print culture.
