Srila Prabhupada quotes on Book Distribution —
All the Leaders should tax their brains for increasing the sales of our books. I have always said that if we simply rely on book distribution, all our needs will met.
– TNOBD Pg 172 (4.1), Jan 11, 1976 to Rupanuga.
Our first business is this book distribution. There is no need of any other business. If the book distribution is managed properly, pushed on with great enthusiasm and determination and at the same time if our men keep spiritually strong, then the whole world will become Krishna conscious.
– Letter to: Satsvarupa, Nellore, 5 January, 1976
