Urdu poetry book, published in 1961 from Lucknow, India. Published by Muhammad Attaullah Al-Qasmi

 
As they say…
In the beginning, there were no words -- until someone wrote them down.
For me it’s a brand new medium to learn and I want to use this for all the vintage book lovers.

I mainly intend to use this blog to show all the books collected by my father …and he inherited from his maternal uncle. Will also post interesting notes and everything in print.
This collection consist of books and periodicals on all subjects in Urdu, English, Persian and Arabic.

I am not going to scan all the books!! But will shoot covers and few of the inside pages.
I hope to clear out the myth that only wealthy can create a private library.
I’m hoping to continue post all of it.

Enjoy…
