We’re trying to curate a bookstall for IndiaFOSS. Ideally books by folks from our community, or those that have some connection to FOSS, commons, digital rights, etc. We will try working with a local bookstore to make this happen!

Suggestions for books are welcome! This is what we’ve been able to come up with so far -
