Book distribution starts as a major austerity then it becomes more and more relishable
This is a link to an article by Adikarta Prabhu found in dandavats. It’s quite interesting, he’s a full-on dedicated book distributor that has already distributed for over 4 decades and plans to continue for the rest of his life doing this glorious activity of book distribution.
