  1. Are there any categories to the books on the list? I am particularly interested in the language learning books!

      We haven’t made any categories, sorry about that. Apart from “Colloquial Tibetan” there aren’t any new Tibetan language learning books that we know of.

  2. Instead of suggesting books to read by purchasing it.i wish these books can be distributed freely so as to have more people knowing about Tibet and its people.nowadays it seems money is what publishers and their promoters care about.i myself being Tibetan feel very helpless that to learn more about my country I need money to do so.its a shame.guess it is a censorship for poor ordinary Tibetan from reading good books.

      Thank you for your comment. In an ideal world yes, all books would be free! However, we would strongly encourage you to keep reading. If you can’t afford to buy the books, message the authors and publishers and ask for a free copy. You could even start a small library and ask publishers to donate, so that your friends could also read the books. You might be surprised by how many kind people would love to support and encourage Tibetan readers. Good luck!

  3. Thank u.
