Dear Mr. Sabarimuthu:

After reading and analysing An Unconventional Approach to Inorganic Chemistry, the Editorial Review Committee of American International Publishers has submitted a favourable report. Therefore, our publishing house is interested in the publication of your book.

People who are not scientifically oriented often find the subject of inorganic chemistry extremely difficult to understand. However, our Editorial Review Committee found that your book makes this topic not difficult, but a challenge. The systems and techniques used in your work to educate the reader on the most intricate details of inorganic chemistry make learning more efficient and accessible. Furthermore, the explanation of theories is done in a clear and systematic manner which makes the work an valuable addition to the resources of educators who work with this subject.

We believe that an exciting market exists of readers interested in An Unconventional Approach to Inorganic Chemistry. All of the qualities described above provide the book with much value for market, thus increasing its potential.

It is our sincere hope that you take advantage of this special opportunity which is being presented to you. Publishing your book in United States’ market is a long term investment which, more important than the economic benefits that it may produce, will bring you countless satisfaction on a personal level. Launching your book in the United States’ market may open doors to many new opportunities which you may have not yet considered.

If the design printing, promotion and distribution of your book in the world’s largest literary market is attractive to you, then American International Publishers will contribute the majority of an investment we value at US $19,800.

Enclosed is a sample list of only few of the thousands of magazines, newspapers, bookstores, libraries, radio stations and catalogs which AIP can contact through our catalog and resulting phone calls and faxes, to promote and distribute your work in the United States.

We feel strongly about your manuscript and your capabilities as an author. At the same time, we recognise that you have not been previously published in the United States. Therefore, the publication of your book constitutes a risk that both you and AIP should be willing to assume. This is the reason why AIP requests a minority co-contribution from you for the publication of your work.

Amongst United States’ Publishers we are unique. The harsh truth is unsolicited manuscripts are unwelcome at most United States publishers. You may have already learned this lesson. And wasted your time, plus suffered sleepless nights.

Did you know that great authors including Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway, Jane Austen, Edgar Allen Poe, Henry Thoreau, Lord Byron, George Bernard Shaw, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Walt Whitman, Vachel Lindsay, Era Pound, Leo Tolstoy, Rod McKuen, A. A. Milne, Elizabeth Barret Browning, Alexander Pope, George Gordan, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Edgar Wallace, Beatrix Potter, Rudyard Kipling and Edward Fitzgerald co-contributed to their publishing efforts to establish their reputations?

One of our goals is to create the opportunity for qualified foreign authors to have their work designed, printed, promoted and distributed in the United States, including those talented with financial limitations. Therefore, we cannot deviate from our co-contribution policy because we would limit the number of opportunities we can create for other authors. It is estimated that only one manuscript in six thousand is ever published, so we would like to encourage you to give this special opportunity careful consideration.

The terms and conditions under which American International Publishers is willing to publish your work are described in the enclosed Author/Publisher Agreement. We have also enclosed Anthology Agreement which provides you with the alternative opportunity of publishing part of your work in our compilation of works, along with other qualified authors. Each agreement constitutes an individual project and should be considered separately. It is all part of our commitment to providing gifted authors as many opportunities to have their work published in the largest market in the world – the United States.

Sincerly Yours,

BOOK REVIEW

AN UNCONVENTIONAL APPROACH TO INORGANIC CHEMISTRY

Prof. V.Sabarimuthu, Dept. of Chemistry, Lekshmipuram College, Neyyoor has authored the book entitled An Unconventional Approach to INORGANIC CHEMISTRY in 1994. This seasoned teacher has elegantly shown his panoramic views and encyclopaedic knowledge in chemistry in this book. This book has been written with a view to present the principles of Inorganic Chemistry in a simple and effective way. The contents have been chosen in such a manner that the book will be used as a reference book in Inorganic Chemistry. The treatment is highly innovative and would stimulate independent and analytical thinking among the readers. Really the book is a treasure in all libraries and for students of Chemistry.

I have gone through the book “An Unconventional Approach to Inorganic Chemistry” by V.Sabarimuthu. The book contains lot of latest informations on various topics discussed. However, the topics are arranged randomly without any logic. This book is worth considering for publication after thorough scrutiny.
