Hi Lisa,

Early editions of Physical Geography by Philip Lake are out of copyright, have been scanned and are available on the interwebs.
e.g., https://archive.org/details/physicalgeograph00lakeuoft

If you really want a copy of an out of copyright book published in India, there are many Indian print on demand outfits that would gladly help.


Hodder / Hachette, active in India, has published Principles of Physical Geography by Francis John Monkhouse.

Although there is an Indian Books in Print, it's not comprehensive as the industry is so large...

Subject: [ALCTS-acqnet] Publishing Textbooks in India

Good morning -

I have an instructor trying to find out whether these geography textbooks - in any edition - are still in print in India. This information is related to a research project.  The textbooks are:


*         Physical Geography by Philip Lake

*         Principles of Physical Geography by Francis John Monkhouse

Any information or leads appreciated. Thank you.
