  • A thousand thanks for promptly sending the Pali English Dictionary which I had needed urgently. The securely packed parcel arrived safely here in the South of France all the way from distant India. I am happy that this large volume is still in mint condition. 

    I know of no other Indian publisher whose books can equal the superb quality of Vedams books. Similarly, no other Indian distributor of books can excel Vedams as regards the quickness of service, the perfect packing of books and their safe delivery at overseas destinations.

  • I wanted to thank you for the lovely book and to assure you that we are in the process of cutting a check for your payment.  Thank you so much for shipping the book to us before receiving payment.  I saved the cloth packaging – I’ve never received a package that was wrapped with such care!  I have shown it to many of my co-workers. 

    Thank you again for fulfilling my request and you should receive payment within a few more weeks.  Please let me know if you have any questions.
