Hello,
I received four responses asking for vendors of Malaysian materials. Two

Thank you for all your responses.

Carmel,
I have a friend in Malaysia who will reply to your inquiry. He is out
of the office this week, but you should hear from him soon after next
week. Please let me know if you do not.

Dear Ms. Thompson,
You may be interested in a program supported by the Library of Congress
that acquires publications from Southeast Asia for research
institutions. I suggest you look at the website
http://www.locjkt.or.id/ which will give you a general view of what we
do. If you have additional questions please contact Mrs.
Tauran-Suprianto.

Subject: Fwd: ACQNET: Malaysian Vendor
Dear Carmel,
Hi. At this point I don't have a lot to recommend in terms of sources in
Malaysia. We use the Library of Congress to pick up a lot of things for
us. But I would also recommend Mary Martin (info_at_marymartin.com) if you
haven't tried them. They do a good job of picking interesting things up.
There are also some online sources that we use (but again you wanted
sources in Malaysia).
Best wishes,
Jeff Petersen

In case you haven't received enough suggestions, I would suggest Mary
Martin Book Sellers. Although they are based in India, they do a good
job supplying us with materials from South and Southeast Asia in general.
They respond very quickly. Email: info_at_marymartin.com.

Subject: Malaysian Vendor
Hello,
We are looking for a book source in Malaysia. Can you suggest any
vendors?
Also, I have tried making online credit card purchases with Silverfish
Books and Kini Books both located in Malaysia. Our credit card
transactions always fail. When I contact the vendor, they tell us our
credit card transaction was denied and to contact our bank. When I
contact our bank, they tell us no such transaction
was ever attempted. I cannot figure out how to get around this.
Any suggestions on sources for Malaysian materials are appreciated.
