Yes its true.Apparently auto-biographies of three sports persons PELE,Mohd Ali and sachin tendulkar fall in that 1 + lakhs range.
I can only buy if it is available from fountains road side book sellers.it costs 40rs only
if u do get it from there. then plzz get me a copy. That will be the 2nd book I will ever read in my life.
Now i also want to buy & read it. so Punch if u get that book , then after reading please give it to me. I will pay u 20rs.
if you search katta itself for articles on sachin that itself would give u a lot of information.So if its worth 1 lacs + more it ought to have something which we dont know.
What could that "more" be?.
Looks like we all want to read it.
"Aaila contri karna padega.Go get it"
Iam wondering though, why pavwala has put this article on sachin in "Relationships" category ?????
My finger splipped
not well played Master (if this news is true)
i wonder if your marketing team calculated that even if you had priced your autobiography at Rs 100 each then at least 10 million 'Official' copies would have been sold (in India itelf i would imagine) giving the publishers a return of about Rs 1000 million !
instead by pricing it at Rs 1 lakh each and selling only 1000 copies the publishers are going to get only Rs 100 million !
(rest is going to be pirated for sure and you/your publishers are not going to get anything there except spending monry on trying to stop it)
so it seems to be that your managers have made a mistake in calculating the required run-rate
as one of your many millions of fans, i sincerely hope not.. also i wonder how will you be satisfied if your autobiography only adorns the homes of the very rich.
Sorry Master. not well played this time. but i guess business is not sports even if sports is big business.
@sandeshp
Do u even know how the auto-biography is gonna be like?
I first heard abt this auto-biography last year(during aug-sep).
here is a link : http://www.indiaexpress.com/news/sports/cricket/20070903-0.html
Don't miss the lines "and he revealed that the publishers, Kraken, are planning a similar book on Tendulkar." in the second para.
This is not just gonna be a yet another boring auto-biography. It is gonna be made by kraken opus and they are making very limited editions of it.It gonna be a huge Opus with good quality paper having some rare high quality images along with the text. I can't explain the whole thing here.
But please check out the makers site ( www.krakenopus.com ) u will get a clear idea of whats it gonna be like.
Or check out The Manchester United Opus on the net.
Good quality paper and high quality images (even if about 15% are never before seen) are all very fine to know... and deservingly so.. but only for the 1000 lucky and the extremely wealthy people who will be deemed 'deserving' enough to buy them or maybe bid for them.. ;-)
Meanwhile lakhs of less ordinary mortals like us... well maybe not you :-) .. but like sandeshp, me, punchtantra, helo etc will have to be content with getting pirated paperbacks..
I think that is what sandeshp is reffering to..
Anyway at this moment one thing is sure, the book (which seems more like a collectors biography than an autobiography) will be very very heavy (30 kgs +) like his bat.. Aaila gym bhi jana padega !
