I read the Kannada translation of the book "Fun with Physics" back when I was in primary school. Didn't understand large parts of it but that didn't stop me from repeatedly reading the books. As high quality as the content was I absolutely loved the high quality print, glossy and gorgeous paper, and really beautiful and durable hard cover. The illustrations were also of high quality. They also had a very distinct smell.
Another Kannada translated book I read (countless times) is stories from Russian history.
Needless to say Russian books are a part of my childhood :)

- Fins 8y agoThat sounds much nicer than any edition of Perelman's books I've ever laid my hands on in Russian.Those were great books, though!

- vishnugupta 8y agoHoly mother!!! Never in my dreams could I imagine I'd be seeing it again. You've made my day :-). And, as you'd know surely, how similar/close Kannada and Telugu scripts are I could effortlessly read it! It does bring back a flood of memories. Thanks again :-)
- yantrams 8y agoYou're welcome :) Memorable tales and gorgeous illustrations. This is one of the few books I managed to keep in absolute mint condition :) I have a scanned version lying around in my collection. Will upload sometime soon on my blog.
