We feel that the most effective way to do this is to provide publication subsidies to authors with finished manuscripts. Details on this proposed program can be supplied on request. Ancient Tibetan writings are in dire need of research, preservation, and dissemination. Many of these works were penned by important philosophers and are thought to contain material of immense interest to scholars. This program is currently starved for funds, needed for equipment and travel by the project team.

Conclusions The Books for Schools program has been successfully executed, with the results that thousands of formerly book-starved children now have access to literature in their own language. Before more books can be bought, Tibetan authors and publishing houses need funds to produce them. Also, funds are needed for research and conservation of rare volumes. Book List Number of copies bought are given in parentheses after each title. In many cases we bought out the publishers entire stock.
